Asbestos survey in Wellow
Asbestos survey for Wellow properties
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Wellow. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Common materials are flues, floor tiles and garage roofs, and people normally contact us about refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and checks on rental property.
Village houses like those in Wellow have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

What happens next
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Book the survey before booking builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Duty holders and landlords in Wellow
If you manage or own a block in Wellow, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Wellow: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Wellow?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Wellow contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wellow can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
The process
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Before we arrive
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

Common reasons for surveys in Wellow
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Rented homes between tenancies
A school such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.
Before booking anyone
- What you’ll receive in writing

What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
What else we do in Wellow
Options to consider in Wellow
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
