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.

What else we do in South Warnborough
The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
Doing it yourself?
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.
Your options compared
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Questions from South Warnborough
Can you survey a school or hall near South Warnborough?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How far is South Warnborough from London?
We cover South Warnborough, about 42 miles from central London.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not generally take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
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?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats generally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What happens next
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

For managing agents and freeholders in South Warnborough, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
