Asbestos survey in Broughton Crossing
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Broughton Crossing
Do you cover small places like Broughton Crossing?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Broughton Crossing contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Broughton Crossing?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.

What happens next
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
What affects the price in Broughton Crossing
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- How big the building is
- How many outbuildings are included
- The quantity or area
- How many samples are needed
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Visible markings
- Cracks or breaks

- An overall view
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Options to consider in Broughton Crossing
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why people choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Written quotes that say what’s included

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common reasons for surveys in Broughton Crossing
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That is why so many buildings in Buckinghamshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition projects
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
For rented homes close to Aylesbury station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it

- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Find any old asbestos reports

We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.
Helpful guides
Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
