If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Asbestos survey near Beenham
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in Beenham. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Whether it’s demolition and strip-out and common parts of flats and HMOs, we cover water tanks, textured ceilings and soffits and more.
Village properties around Beenham often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Questions from Beenham
Do you cover small places like Beenham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Beenham from London?
We cover Beenham, about 46 miles from central London.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
How we price an asbestos survey
Our quotes take into account:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- How much sampling is needed
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Why people call us in Beenham
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you manage lettings around Aldermaston station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Before you book anyone
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- What you will receive in writing
- Which areas and materials are covered
- How many samples are included
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Beenham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
