Asbestos survey near Aldermaston

How asbestos survey works in Aldermaston

We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. We often deal with soffits, water tanks and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about rented homes between tenancies and community buildings and halls.

Village houses like those in Aldermaston have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Buying a house with asbestos: what you need to know

What it costs

Every quote reflects:

Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
The number of samples or the size of the building
Material and condition

How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Sending photos

The most useful photos are:

The access route
Visible markings
Where we could park
An idea of size

For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Doing it yourself?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Options to consider in Aldermaston

Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

What it might be made of

Floor tiles and adhesive

Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.

Roofing felt and bitumen

Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically well bound in.

Limits to be aware of

Worth knowing before booking:

A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

After we’ve finished in Aldermaston

For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.

A few practical points:

Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Share any previous surveys or drawings
Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas

What to avoid

If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.

If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

About asbestos surveys

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Aldermaston

Can you survey a school or hall near Aldermaston?

Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.

Do you cover small places like Aldermaston?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

Which asbestos survey do I need in Aldermaston?

It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.

Can you help a business or landlord?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.

Do you give written quotes?

Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

Where asbestos turns up

Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.

In older properties, we often see:

Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
Rented homes between tenancies
The communal parts of blocks of flats
Purchases of older homes and buildings

A school such as Aldermaston C.E. Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
