About our asbestos survey in Dorney
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Dorney. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. From rented homes between tenancies and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we deal with soffits, floor tiles and boiler cupboard panels.
Rural homes near Dorney have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Getting ready
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Warn neighbours if needed

What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
A few practical points:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
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.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Dorney, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Common questions in Dorney
Can you survey a school or hall near Dorney?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover small places like Dorney?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That’s why so many buildings in Windsor and Maidenhead can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Typical jobs in Dorney include:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
Halls and leisure centres near Dorney fall into the non-domestic category, so the duty to manage applies.
