Asbestos survey for The Mint
Asbestos survey in The Mint
If a building in The Mint dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Typical jobs include community buildings and halls and demolition and strip-out, including water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs.
Village surveys around The Mint can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

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 begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
How to prepare
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Tell us about parking and access
- Find any old asbestos reports

Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
To avoid problems in future:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before booking builders
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Typical surveys in The Mint
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Checks on rental property
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Public and community buildings
If you manage lettings around Liss station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Your options compared
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

The Mint questions
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in The Mint have asbestos?
Any home in The Mint built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Do you survey commercial buildings in The Mint?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The survey type
- The size and age of the building
- What the material is and its state
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
