Asbestos survey for Drayton St Leonard
About our asbestos survey in Drayton St Leonard
Before you buy, build or let in Drayton St Leonard, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Whether it’s community buildings and halls and buying a property built before 2000, we cover pipe lagging, water tanks and soffits.
Village houses like those in Drayton St Leonard have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Drayton St Leonard: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Drayton St Leonard homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Drayton St Leonard can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Drayton St Leonard?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
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 can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you work in Drayton St Leonard?
Yes, we do: Drayton St Leonard is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Looking after things afterwards
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Drayton St Leonard must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
