Asbestos survey in Easington
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with, in plain English. People often contact us about buying a property built before 2000 and rented homes between tenancies, including boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and textured ceilings.
Village houses like those in Easington have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

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.
Some practical advice:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- 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: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Easington
Can you survey a school or hall near Easington?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do older homes in Easington have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

The process
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Surveys around Easington
Easington is about 3 miles north-west of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. We cover Easington as part of Buckinghamshire, whatever the size of the job. Easington is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. Our area stretches from Easington to Oxford (10 miles away).
If you manage lettings around Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, share asbestos information with trades before work. Schools such as Long Crendon School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Wherever your property is in HP18, we can help with an asbestos survey. We can help with surveys on streets such as Easington Lane and Chilton Road, wherever it is in Easington. Nearby, we also cover Chilton (1 mile north), Shabbington (2 miles south-west), Little Ickford (3 miles south-west), North Weston (3 miles south) and Ickford (3 miles south-west).

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What we deal with in Easington
