Our asbestos survey in Milton Keynes

What you are planning in Milton Keynes decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will match the survey to the plan. People often contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, including pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and flues.

We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, which goes into the report.

  1. Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
  2. We recommend the right type of survey
  3. On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
  4. Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
  5. You receive a clear written report with recommendations

Duty holders and landlords in Milton Keynes

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

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

DIY and asbestos

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Materials, one by one

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.

Roofing felt and bitumen

Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually bound in the bitumen.

Weighing up your options

A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap.

Questions to ask before you book

  • The report contents
  • Whether extra samples cost more
  • That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
  • VAT, clearly stated

Where asbestos turns up

Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.

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

  • Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
  • Shops, offices and industrial units
  • Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
  • Planned refurbishment work

Milton Keynes questions

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?

HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.

When can you start?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.

Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?

Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.

Which asbestos survey do I need in Milton Keynes?

A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
