Asbestos survey in Deddington
Any building in Deddington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. People often contact us about checks on rental property and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, including soffits, floor tiles and flues.
Village surveys around Deddington can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Your options compared
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples

Deddington: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Deddington?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work near Kings Sutton station?
Yes. Kings Sutton station is about 3.2 miles north-east of Deddington, and we cover both.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Deddington?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats normally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.

Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Common materials
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After we’ve finished:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Where asbestos turns up
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you have an older property in Deddington, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere else, survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.
Questions to ask before booking

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal

- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
