Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Common reasons for surveys in Cookham Dean
The danger typically comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
These are some of the things we deal with in Cookham Dean:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Public and community buildings
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes due for maintenance

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

What else we do in Cookham Dean
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.
Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not typically take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
