Asbestos survey near Churchill
About our asbestos survey in Churchill
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Churchill. Common materials are soffits, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels, and people generally contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
Village houses like those in Churchill have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

The process
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- 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
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Helpful guides
After the job
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

A school such as Kingham Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

The scope of an asbestos survey

Do you cover Churchill and the area around Kingham station?
Yes, we cover Churchill and the area towards Kingham station, about 1.7 miles south-west.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Churchill?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Places near Churchill
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
Which option is right?
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. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
