Asbestos survey near Aston Tirrold
If a building in Aston Tirrold dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. From managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we deal with water tanks, garage roofs and floor tiles and more.
Village houses like those in Aston Tirrold have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Weighing up your options
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you are comparing like with like. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Questions from Aston Tirrold
Do you cover small places like Aston Tirrold?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Aston Tirrold from London?
Aston Tirrold is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Aston Tirrold?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not typically take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Keeping things safe:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
