Need an asbestos survey in Shedfield?
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
How asbestos survey works in Shedfield
Plenty of older buildings, in Shedfield as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you are in, so you can plan sensibly. Typical jobs include community buildings and halls and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, involving flues, floor tiles and water tanks.
Village houses like those in Shedfield have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Good to know
The usual limits are:
- 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
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
Where asbestos turns up
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
These come up again and again:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Demolition projects
Schools such as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
What your quote should include
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether VAT is included

Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work in Shedfield?
We do: Shedfield is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Shedfield?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What affects the price in Shedfield
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The survey scope
- The quantity or area
- The survey type
- Travel and parking
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Don’ts
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
