Asbestos survey in Buckinghamshire: what to expect

Not every older building in Buckinghamshire contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. People often contact us about community buildings and halls and planned refurbishment work, including flues, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles.

If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report.

Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
We recommend the right type of survey
On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
Samples go to the laboratory
The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear

Local landmarks in Aylesbury

Surveying buildings in Buckinghamshire

Across Buckinghamshire, we survey houses, flats, workplaces and buildings before demolition, in Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Chesham and in the 210 smaller villages and hamlets. The Chilterns National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Buckinghamshire, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight.

Aylesbury: For a school like Buckinghamshire UTC, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. If you let flats or houses near Aylesbury station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Looking after things afterwards

Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.

Book the survey before booking builders
Share any previous surveys or drawings
Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas

Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

What it might be made of

Asbestos cement

Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.

Pipe lagging

Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.

Where asbestos turns up

Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:

Planned refurbishment work
Public and community buildings
Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Pre-purchase checks on older properties

For businesses and landlords in Buckinghamshire

If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Buckinghamshire, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Good to know

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

Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time

Questions from Buckinghamshire

Can you help with a flat?

Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Does a survey leave holes?

A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.

Does someone need to be there?

We need access to every area involved in the job.

Do I need a test or a survey?

A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Who needs a management survey?

It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
