Asbestos survey for Crowthorne properties
Any building in Crowthorne built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. We often deal with textured ceilings, water tanks and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about rented homes due for maintenance and purchases of older homes and buildings.
In a town like Crowthorne, surveys are often for homes before renovation, rented property and local businesses, often in buildings that were extended or altered before 2000. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Which option is right?
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Practical recommendations
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Covering London and the South East

What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- How easy it is to reach
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Travel and parking
- The building’s size and layout
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Crowthorne: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Crowthorne?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Crowthorne and the area around Crowthorne station?
Yes, we cover Crowthorne and the area towards Crowthorne station, about 1 mile south-west.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
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. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.

After the job
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
