Asbestos survey for Easton properties
Not every older building in Easton contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Common materials are textured ceilings, pipe lagging and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about demolition projects and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
In a village like Easton, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Which option is right?
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

How we price an asbestos survey
What drives the price:
- What the material is and its state
- How much sampling is needed
- The size and age of the building
- The size of the job
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
To help us quote quickly, send:
- The access route
- The parking area
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749, and we’ll reply with a quote.
After we have finished in Easton
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
After we’ve finished:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Easton: your questions answered
Do you cover Easton from London?
We cover Easton, about 56 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Easton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do you work in Easton?
Yes, Easton is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

These come up again and again:

For landlords, agents and businesses
