Asbestos survey near Englefield Green
Asbestos survey near Englefield Green
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. We often deal with textured ceilings, floor tiles and water tanks, and people normally contact us about rented homes between tenancies and pre-purchase checks on older properties.
A survey in Englefield Green typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Common reasons for surveys in Englefield Green
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
These come up again and again:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Community buildings and halls
- Workplaces built before 2000
Planning work on an older building in Englefield Green, whether near Church of Our Lady of the Assumption or elsewhere? Get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.
What to look for in a quote
- What the report or result will contain
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Englefield Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Englefield Green
Do you cover Englefield Green and the area around Egham station?
Yes. Egham station is about 1 mile east of Englefield Green, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Englefield Green homes?
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
