About our asbestos survey in Trotton Marsh
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Trotton Marsh must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is usually the starting point. From common parts of flats and HMOs and checks on rental property, we cover flues, water tanks and textured ceilings.
Village houses like those in Trotton Marsh have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
What happens
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, which goes into the report. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
Getting a price
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

What affects the price in Trotton Marsh
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Material and condition

- How much sampling is needed
- How much there is
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

- A picture of the whole area
- Street parking nearby
- Damaged areas
- Approximate dimensions

What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Going forward:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues

Where asbestos turns up
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
In older properties, we often see:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
If you let flats or houses near Liphook station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

Trotton Marsh questions
Do you come out to small villages like Trotton Marsh?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
