Asbestos survey for Tadley properties
About to refurbish in Tadley? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Typical jobs include schools, halls and community buildings and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, including soffits, water tanks and floor tiles.
In a town like Tadley, surveys are often for homes before renovation, rented property and local businesses, where earlier alterations may contain asbestos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Duty holders and landlords in Tadley
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
What else we do in Tadley
What we deal with in Tadley
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Demolition and strip-out
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Checks on rental property
Planning work on an older building in Tadley, whether near Saint Mary's Church or elsewhere? Survey the areas you are working on before work starts.
What to look for in a quote
- If the price includes VAT
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The scope, in writing
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Getting ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
Getting a price
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Weighing up your options
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Covering London and the South East
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys

Questions from Tadley
How far is Tadley from London?
Tadley is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Tadley and the area around Midgham station?
Yes, we cover Tadley and the area towards Midgham station, about 3.3 miles north-west.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
