After we’ve finished in Vernham Dean
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Some practical advice:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
How asbestos survey works in Vernham Dean
Before you buy, build or let in Vernham Dean, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. From demolition projects and checks on rental property, we deal with flues, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels.
Village properties around Vernham Dean often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that is needed.

- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it

A closer look at the materials

Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.

Vernham Dean: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Vernham Dean?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Could my house in Vernham Dean contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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 paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats typically do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
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 Vernham Dean?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

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.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
