For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Going forward:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

Could my house in Coldmoorholme contain asbestos?
Any home in Coldmoorholme built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Yes. We cover Coldmoorholme and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Which asbestos survey do I need in Coldmoorholme?
That depends on what you are planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
- 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
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
