Our asbestos survey in Bracknell Forest

The type of survey you need in Bracknell Forest depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will recommend the right one. We often deal with pipe lagging, garage roofs and textured ceilings, and people generally contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and schools, halls and community buildings.

If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, so you can keep people away.

Typical surveys in Bracknell Forest

Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Rented homes between tenancies
Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms

What’s included, and what isn’t

Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:

The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

Doing it yourself?

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Common questions in Bracknell Forest

What paperwork will I get?

A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?

Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?

Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.

Which asbestos survey do I need in Bracknell Forest?

That depends on what you’re planning: 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’ll advise.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
