The scope of an asbestos survey
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
Common reasons for surveys in Ashampstead Green
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.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Public and community buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
For rented homes close to Goring & Streatley station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
What your quote should include
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Areas included and excluded
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The quantity or area
- How many outbuildings are included
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much sampling is needed
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An overall view
- The parking area
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Questions from Ashampstead Green
How far is Ashampstead Green from London?
We cover Ashampstead Green, about 47 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Ashampstead Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Do you work in Ashampstead Green?
We do: our area includes Ashampstead Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you’re comparing like with like. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Some practical advice:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
