About our asbestos survey in Duns Tew
Not every older building in Duns Tew contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. Common materials are flues, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are checks on rental property and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
Village properties around Duns Tew often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Duns Tew: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Duns Tew?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Duns Tew contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What happens
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, before going to an accredited laboratory. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.

Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Choosing the right option
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Duty holders and landlords in Duns Tew
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Duns Tew, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
Typical jobs in Duns Tew include:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition projects
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
If you manage lettings around Heyford station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

The cost depends on:
- The building’s size and layout
