Weighing up your options
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not typically take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Asbestos survey in Tidworth
Before you buy, build or let in Tidworth, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Common materials are garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and pipe lagging, and people usually contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and purchases of older homes and buildings.
In a smaller place like Tidworth, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

What else we do in Tidworth
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
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.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you manage or own a block in Tidworth, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Common questions in Tidworth
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Tidworth?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Could my house in Tidworth contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Tidworth may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you cover Tidworth?
We do: our area includes Tidworth and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Demolition projects
- Public and community buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
A school such as The Wellington Academy counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
