Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

About our asbestos survey in Woolmer
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Woolmer, a survey answers the asbestos question. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples.

Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Where asbestos turns up
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
Typical jobs in Woolmer include:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Workplaces built before 2000
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
If you are a landlord near Liss station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Woolmer
Do you come out to small villages like Woolmer?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Woolmer?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.

Schools such as St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. Got an older property in Woolmer, close to St Matthew's Church or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. Parts of the South Downs National Park are within about 7 miles of Woolmer, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.

After we’ve finished in Woolmer
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
