Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition projects
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Shops, offices and industrial units
Non-domestic buildings, Boughton Monchelsea Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.

About our asbestos survey in Wierton
Managing agents and landlords in Wierton use surveys so trades know what to avoid, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. People often contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and buying a property built before 2000, involving flues, water tanks and pipe lagging.
Village properties around Wierton often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

After we have finished in Wierton
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Duty holders and landlords in Wierton
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Wierton, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Dig out previous surveys
