How asbestos survey works in West Berkshire
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in West Berkshire, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. We often deal with water tanks, flues and soffits, and people generally contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and checks on rental property.
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next

Asbestos surveys across West Berkshire
From Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common to 139 villages and hamlets, buildings across West Berkshire range from terraces and estates to farms and industrial units, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. In towns we survey homes and businesses; in villages, outbuildings too. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across West Berkshire, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common.
Newbury: Schools such as St Nicolas C.E. Junior School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is usually where that starts. Got an older property in Newbury, close to St Nicolas Church or further out? Survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Options to consider in West Berkshire
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted.
What your quote should include
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- What the report or result will contain
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
FAQs for West Berkshire
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you survey commercial buildings in West Berkshire?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
