Asbestos survey for Cox Green
About our asbestos survey in Cox Green
Our surveys in Cox Green cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. From demolition projects and planned refurbishment work, we cover soffits, floor tiles and water tanks and more.
A survey in Cox Green typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What we deal with in Cox Green
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Planned refurbishment work
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
For a school like Wessex Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- The scope, in writing
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- What the report or result will contain
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Cox Green
Do you cover Cox Green and the area around Maidenhead station?
Yes. Maidenhead station is about 1.1 miles north-east of Cox Green, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Cox Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
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.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Do you cover Cox Green?
Yes, we do: Cox Green is within the area we cover in Windsor and Maidenhead. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
