Asbestos survey for Bucks Horn Oak

Asbestos survey near Bucks Horn Oak

We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, whichever fits your plans in Bucks Horn Oak. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Typical materials include flues, garage roofs and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and pre-purchase checks on older properties.

Village houses like those in Bucks Horn Oak have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What it might be made of

Floor tiles and adhesive

Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.

Roofing felt and bitumen

Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.

What affects the price in Bucks Horn Oak

Quotes vary because of:

  • Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space
  • What the material is and its state
  • The number of samples or the size of the building

Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

What to photograph

A few photos can save a site visit:

  • Approximate dimensions
  • Street parking nearby
  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it
  • Cracks or breaks

  • A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
  • Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

If your business premises in Bucks Horn Oak were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

  1. Start by telling us about the property and your plans
  2. We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
  3. Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
  4. An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
  5. The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear

Common reasons for surveys in Bucks Horn Oak

Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Surrey can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.

Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:

  • Rented homes between tenancies
  • Buying a property built before 2000
  • Demolition projects
  • Workplaces built before 2000

If you have an older property in Bucks Horn Oak, near Saint James or anywhere else, survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.

Before booking anyone

  • That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
  • The scope, in writing
  • The report contents
  • That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Can I do it myself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
