Asbestos survey near Colnbrook
Asbestos survey in Colnbrook
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Colnbrook. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. From refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and rented homes between tenancies, we cover floor tiles, soffits and textured ceilings and more.
Village properties around Colnbrook often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Colnbrook
Can you survey a school or hall near Colnbrook?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work near Sunnymeads station?
Yes. Sunnymeads station is about 1.7 miles south-west of Colnbrook, and we cover both.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Choosing the right option
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- Every main survey type
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Practical recommendations
- Houses, flats and business premises

For businesses and landlords in Colnbrook
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- 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
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
