Asbestos survey near Clewer
Asbestos survey in Clewer
We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Typical jobs include checks on rental property and community buildings and halls, involving flues, water tanks and soffits.
In Clewer, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Typical surveys in Clewer
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
Common situations in older properties include:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Community buildings and halls
- Workplaces built before 2000
Halls and leisure centres near Clewer fall into the non-domestic category, where the duty to manage asbestos applies.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report or result will contain
- The number of samples
- If the price includes VAT
- The scope, in writing
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
A few practical points:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Book the survey before you book builders
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Clewer
Do older homes in Clewer have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Clewer may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Clewer and the area around Windsor & Eton Central station?
Yes. Windsor & Eton Central station is about 0.7 miles east of Clewer, and we cover both.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Weighing up your options
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 planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What you get
- Reports and results you can share
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Domestic and commercial work

Read how we quote and published price ranges.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
