Asbestos survey in Amen Corner
After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
How asbestos survey works in Amen Corner
Buying an older property in Amen Corner? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. We often deal with floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and pipe lagging, and people typically contact us about demolition and strip-out and surveys requested by builders before work.
Homes in areas like Amen Corner range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Practical recommendations
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Condition assessed for every material

Questions from Amen Corner
Do you work near Bracknell station?
Yes, we cover Amen Corner and the area towards Bracknell station, about 1.3 miles east.
Do older homes in Amen Corner have asbestos?
Any home in Amen Corner built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
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.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
