About our asbestos survey in Dunton
Before you buy, build or let in Dunton, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Common materials are water tanks, flues and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are checks on rental property and surveys requested by builders before work.
Around a village like Dunton, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Choosing the right option
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Recommendations in plain English
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

What happens next
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
A few practical points:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
What to avoid
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.

Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Dunton
Do you cover Dunton from London?
We cover Dunton, about 42 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Dunton have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Dunton?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What happens
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, before going to an accredited laboratory. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
