After we have finished in Sleaford
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Asbestos survey in Sleaford
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Sleaford must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is normally the starting point. People often contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and planned refurbishment work, involving boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and soffits.
Village properties around Sleaford often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

For businesses and landlords in Sleaford
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
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.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

FAQs for Sleaford
Is asbestos common in Sleaford homes?
Any home in Sleaford built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Sleaford from London?
We cover Sleaford, about 41 miles from central London.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
