About our asbestos survey in Soldridge
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Soldridge. Common materials are flues, soffits and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about community buildings and halls and rented homes due for maintenance.
Village houses like those in Soldridge have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Which option is right?
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Reports and results you can share
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
Read our prices page and published price ranges.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
A few practical points:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Questions from Soldridge
Do you cover Soldridge from London?
We cover Soldridge, about 50 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Soldridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Soldridge?
That depends on what you are planning: 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 will advise.
What we deal with in Soldridge
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Checks on rental property
Altering an older house in Soldridge, wherever it is? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
