Asbestos survey in Boyn Hill
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Boyn Hill, a survey answers the asbestos question. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Common materials are water tanks, soffits and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
In areas like Boyn Hill, surveys generally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. We only recommend work that is needed.

Your options compared
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Clear notes on any areas not reached

How it works
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Ensure we can get to the area
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
FAQs for Boyn Hill
Do you work near Maidenhead station?
Yes. Maidenhead station is about 1 mile north-east of Boyn Hill, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Boyn Hill homes?
If your home in Boyn Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The size and age of the building
- The quantity or area
- How many different materials need sampling
- Access to the area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- An idea of size
- Cracks or breaks
- An overall view
- Street parking nearby
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
After we have finished in Boyn Hill
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
A few practical points:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
