How asbestos survey works in Westley
What you are planning in Westley decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll recommend the right one. From pre-work surveys for trades and buying a property built before 2000, we deal with soffits, flues and garage roofs and more.
Village properties around Westley often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Westley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
How we price an asbestos survey
We base our quote on:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The building’s size and layout
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How many samples are needed
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A photo of the whole area
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
Each job is priced individually. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.
The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We carry out the survey on site
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
How to get a quote

Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
Westley: your questions answered
Do you cover Westley and the area around Winchester station?
Yes, we cover Westley and the area towards Winchester station, about 3.4 miles east.
How far is Westley from London?
Westley is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
What to avoid
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Which option is right?
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
