What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The size of the job
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The building’s size and layout
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The parking area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
Include any existing survey or test when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
About our asbestos survey in Bayworth
If you’re buying a home or building in Bayworth from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Common materials are flues, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels, and people normally contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and checks on rental property.
Village houses like those in Bayworth have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples

Helpful guides
Common reasons for surveys in Bayworth
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Demolition and strip-out
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Rented homes due for maintenance
Planning work on an older building in Bayworth, whether near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere? Get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.
Comparing quotes
- The scope, in writing
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether extra samples cost more
Options to consider in Bayworth
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why people choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

For rented homes close to Radley station, share asbestos information with trades before work. For a school like Sunningwell Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.

Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it

Questions from Bayworth
How far is Bayworth from London?
Bayworth is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Bayworth and the area around Radley station?
Yes. Radley station is about 2.3 miles south-east of Bayworth, and we cover both.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
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.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Bayworth, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Other services in Bayworth
After we have finished in Bayworth
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
A few practical points:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Book the survey before booking builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
