How asbestos survey works in Wootton
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. From rented homes between tenancies and shops, offices and industrial units, we cover floor tiles, water tanks and flues.
Village houses like those in Wootton have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you manage or own a block in Wootton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Which option is right?
Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.

What to look for in a quote
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- 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; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment

Common questions in Wootton
How far is Wootton from London?
Wootton is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings normally starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- How much there is
- The number of materials to sample
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The size and age of the building
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- An overall view
- A rough size or measurement
- Damaged areas
- The parking area

What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After we’ve finished:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
