Why people call us in Wells-in-the-Field
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Community buildings and halls
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
Schools such as Whitchurch Church of England Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- What the report or result will contain
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Access to the area
- The size of the job
- How many samples are needed
- The type of material and its condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
- A close-up from a safe distance
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you run a business from older premises in Wells-in-the-Field, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Common questions in Wells-in-the-Field
Do you cover small places like Wells-in-the-Field?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you survey a school or hall near Wells-in-the-Field?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Your options compared
