About our asbestos survey in Woodside
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Woodside, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Whether it’s demolition and strip-out and buying a property built before 2000, we cover garage roofs, flues and floor tiles and more.
In a village like Woodside, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Weighing up your options
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you’re comparing like with like. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials in Woodside

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
FAQs for Woodside
Can you survey a school or hall near Woodside?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do older homes in Woodside have asbestos?
If your home in Woodside was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Woodside, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Woodside, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare

- Warn neighbours if needed

After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Why people call us in Woodside
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
