Asbestos survey in Binley
About our asbestos survey in Binley
We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. We often deal with floor tiles, pipe lagging and soffits, and typical jobs are pre-purchase checks on older properties and public and community buildings.
Village properties around Binley often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After we’ve finished:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

FAQs for Binley
Do you cover Binley from London?
We cover Binley, about 58 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Binley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How big the building is
- The survey scope
- The survey type
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Approximate dimensions
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Labels, if any

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
How it works
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, for the report. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
