Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
What affects the price in Wishanger Common
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The size and age of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much there is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A rough size or measurement
- Damaged areas
- A close-up from a safe distance

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Wishanger Common
How far is Wishanger Common from London?
Wishanger Common is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Wishanger Common and the area around Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, we cover Wishanger Common and the area towards Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 3.7 miles north-west.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
After we’ve finished in Wishanger Common
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:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wishanger Common must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
