Asbestos survey in Bledlow
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Bledlow, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Whether it’s managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and checks on rental property, we cover soffits, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Village houses like those in Bledlow have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Your options compared
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

What we deal with in Bledlow
Materials age: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Planned refurbishment work
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
Planning work on an older building in Bledlow, whether near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
What your quote should include
- Suitable insurance for the work
- VAT, clearly stated
- What the report or result will contain
- Whether extra samples cost more
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with

- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging

Common questions in Bledlow
Do you cover Bledlow and the area around Princes Risborough station?
Yes. Princes Risborough station is about 1.3 miles east of Bledlow, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How it works
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.

- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
