Asbestos survey near Codmore Hill
Asbestos survey for Codmore Hill properties
Buying an older property in Codmore Hill? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. From public and community buildings and rented homes between tenancies, we deal with garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles and more.
Village houses like those in Codmore Hill have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Questions from Codmore Hill
Can you survey a school or hall near Codmore Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
How far is Codmore Hill from London?
Codmore Hill is about 40 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once we are done:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Domestic and commercial work
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
