What happens next
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before booking builders
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Bletchley
Do older homes in Bletchley have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bletchley may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey a school or hall near Bletchley?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Typical surveys in Bletchley
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
These are some of the things we deal with in Bletchley:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Public and community buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
- Rented homes due for maintenance
Non-domestic buildings, Holne Chase Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether extra samples cost more
- The report contents
- If the price includes VAT
Weighing up your options
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not typically take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- The number of materials to sample
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
For a quick quote, include:
- Cracks or breaks
- A close-up from a safe distance

For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
