Asbestos survey near Cadmore End
About to refurbish in Cadmore End? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Typical materials include water tanks, garage roofs and soffits, and people normally contact us about rented homes due for maintenance and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
Rural homes near Cadmore End have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Where asbestos turns up
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Checks on rental property
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Demolition projects
If you’re a landlord near Saunderton station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

Asbestos surveys in Cadmore End: local notes
Cadmore End is about 5 miles west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Homes, landlords and businesses in Cadmore End contact us for surveys. We work in all 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 13 miles away.
Got an older property in Cadmore End, close to Church of St Mary Le Moor or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. Schools such as Cadmore End CofE School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts. Cadmore End is within about 3 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.
Anywhere in HP14, we can help with an asbestos survey, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We also carry out surveys in Bolter End (1 mile east), Fingest (1 mile south-west), Wheeler End (1 mile east), Little Frieth (1 mile south) and Horsleys Green (1 mile north). We also cover nearby towns such as Aylesbury (13 miles north), High Wycombe (5 miles east), Chesham (12 miles north-east), Marlow (5 miles south-east), Amersham (12 miles east) and Beaconsfield (9 miles east).

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
Step by step
If we find something that’s damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- 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
Getting ready
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged

What else we do in Cadmore End
Cadmore End questions
Do you work near Saunderton station?
Yes. Saunderton station is about 3.8 miles north-east of Cadmore End, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Cadmore End?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Duty holders and landlords in Cadmore End
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
After we’ve finished in Cadmore End
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
