Asbestos survey for Ascott-under-Wychwood properties
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. People often contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and pre-purchase checks on older properties, involving textured ceilings, water tanks and garage roofs.
Around a village like Ascott-under-Wychwood, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why people choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Condition ratings, not just a list

Common questions in Ascott-under-Wychwood
Do older homes in Ascott-under-Wychwood have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ascott-under-Wychwood may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Ascott-under-Wychwood and the area around Ascott-Under-Wychwood station?
Yes, we cover Ascott-under-Wychwood, including the streets around Ascott-Under-Wychwood station.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: 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 will advise.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
