Helpful guides
Asbestos survey in Whitehill
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Whitehill. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical materials include pipe lagging, garage roofs and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are rented homes between tenancies and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises.
Around a village like Whitehill, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before you book:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Whitehill: your questions answered
Could my house in Whitehill contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Whitehill can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Whitehill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Once we are done:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Duty holders and landlords in Whitehill
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Whitehill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
