Asbestos survey for Ashendon properties
Not every older building in Ashendon contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you are in, so you can plan sensibly. Typical jobs include the communal parts of blocks of flats and demolition projects, including flues, soffits and garage roofs.
Village surveys around Ashendon can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Why people call us in Ashendon
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Demolition and strip-out
If you manage lettings around Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
What affects the price in Ashendon
Quotes vary because of:
- How easy it is to reach
- The building’s size and layout
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

What else we do in Ashendon
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Ashendon, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If you run a business from older premises in Ashendon, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
What to avoid
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Ashendon
Do you cover Ashendon and the area around Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes. Haddenham & Thame Parkway station is about 3.9 miles south-east of Ashendon, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Ashendon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Choosing the right option
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
