Asbestos survey in East Hanney
Buying an older property in East Hanney? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Common materials are water tanks, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels, and people usually contact us about planned refurbishment work and buying a property built before 2000.
Village houses like those in East Hanney have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common reasons for surveys in East Hanney
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition and strip-out
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report

Which option is right?
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Clear next steps
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

East Hanney buildings and asbestos surveys
East Hanney is about 3 miles north of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. Properties in East Hanney range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire. We work right across the region, from East Hanney to Oxford (about 11 miles away).
Schools such as St James Church of England Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is typically where that starts.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
How it works
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- 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
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out previous surveys
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in East Hanney, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The size and age of the building
- Access to the area
- The survey scope
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- Damaged areas
- How we’d reach it
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Visible markings
To get a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
What happens next
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
East Hanney: your questions answered
Do older homes in East Hanney have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in East Hanney can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like East Hanney?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings generally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
