Asbestos survey for Sherfield on Loddon properties
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Sherfield on Loddon, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Typical jobs include workplaces built before 2000 and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, involving boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and pipe lagging.
Village houses like those in Sherfield on Loddon have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Typical surveys in Sherfield on Loddon
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Checks on rental property
- Community buildings and halls
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms

After we have finished in Sherfield on Loddon
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.

Options to consider in Sherfield on Loddon
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Questions from Sherfield on Loddon
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Sherfield on Loddon?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover small places like Sherfield on Loddon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
