Asbestos survey near The Hangers
Planning building work in The Hangers? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Whether it’s rented homes between tenancies and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we deal with floor tiles, flues and textured ceilings.
Village houses like those in The Hangers have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Materials, one by one
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.
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.
Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- Clear written quotes
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Clear notes on any areas not reached

FAQs for The Hangers
Do you come out to small villages like The Hangers?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is The Hangers from London?
We cover The Hangers, about 60 miles from central London.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: 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’ll advise.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Yes, The Hangers is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.

The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
Duty holders and landlords in The Hangers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How big the building is
- The type of survey you need
- Access to the area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
