How asbestos survey works in Trotton
Any building in Trotton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Whether it’s rented homes between tenancies and pre-purchase checks on older properties, we deal with floor tiles, flues and soffits and more.
Village properties around Trotton often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.

- Access to the area
- The number of materials to sample
- What the material is and its state
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Questions from Trotton
Do older homes in Trotton have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Trotton?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you run a business from older premises in Trotton, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
