Asbestos survey for Soake properties
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Soake, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. We often deal with pipe lagging, flues and soffits, and people generally contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and demolition and strip-out.
In a village like Soake, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Weighing up your options
Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Across London and the South East
See how we price jobs or our cost guide.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Soake must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What affects the price in Soake
Every quote reflects:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The building’s size and layout
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How many different materials need sampling
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The access route
- A clear close-up
- A rough size or measurement
- Street parking nearby

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
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.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Soake
Do you cover small places like Soake?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Soake from London?
We cover Soake, about 59 miles from central London.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
