Asbestos survey for Brookhampton properties
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Brookhampton, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. From public and community buildings and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we cover floor tiles, textured ceilings and pipe lagging and more.
Village houses like those in Brookhampton have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Planning work on an older building in Brookhampton, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. Schools such as Stadhampton Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register. Parts of the Chilterns National Landscape are within about 8 miles of Brookhampton, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.

Questions from Brookhampton
How far is Brookhampton from London?
We cover Brookhampton, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you cover Brookhampton and the area around Radley station?
Yes. Radley station is about 4.8 miles west of Brookhampton, and we cover both.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
Do you work in Brookhampton?
Yes. We cover Brookhampton and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
After the job
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
After we have finished:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Brookhampton 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.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- How much sampling is needed
- Parking and access charges
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The number of samples or the size of the building
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Clear next steps
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Reports and results you can share

What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials

How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Getting ready
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Let us know if something’s broken
