Asbestos survey in Shalden Green
Asbestos survey in Shalden Green
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Shalden Green, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. People often contact us about schools, halls and community buildings and common parts of flats and HMOs, including floor tiles, pipe lagging and flues.
Village properties around Shalden Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings

Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
If you let flats or houses near Alton station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Shalden Green
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Shalden Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Could my house in Shalden Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Shalden Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you cover Shalden Green?
Yes. We cover Shalden Green and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Your options compared
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you run a business from older premises in Shalden Green, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
