About our asbestos survey in Sheet
Not every older building in Sheet contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. Typical materials include garage roofs, soffits and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and public and community buildings.
Village houses like those in Sheet have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What else we do in Sheet
After the job
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Keeping things safe:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Things not to do
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
How it works
If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. Parking close by makes the day easier.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Getting ready
- Clear the way to the work area
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Why people call us in Sheet
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
These are some of the things we deal with in Sheet:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition and strip-out
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
If you are a landlord near Petersfield station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
What to look for in a quote
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- What the report or result will contain
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
The scope of an asbestos survey
What’s in and what’s out:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
Duty holders and landlords in Sheet
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you manage or own a block in Sheet, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
How we price an asbestos survey
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How many outbuildings are included
- The survey scope
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A clear close-up
- An overall view
- The access route
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Options to consider in Sheet
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Every main survey type

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Sheet
Do you work near Petersfield station?
Yes, we cover Sheet and the area towards Petersfield station, about 1.1 miles south-west.
Do you cover Sheet from London?
We cover Sheet, about 49 miles from central London.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Sheet?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
