Asbestos survey near Bagnor
Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Some practical advice:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before you book builders
Avoid these
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Asbestos survey for Bagnor properties
A survey isn’t 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 checks on rental property and demolition and strip-out, involving boiler cupboard panels, flues and floor tiles.
Around a village like Bagnor, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

What else we do in Bagnor
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Bagnor, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles

FAQs for Bagnor
Do you work near Newbury station?
Yes, we cover Bagnor and the area towards Newbury station, about 1.5 miles south-east.
How far is Bagnor from London?
We cover Bagnor, about 54 miles from central London.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
- 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
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
