Asbestos survey for Eversley Centre
Asbestos survey in Eversley Centre
We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Whether it’s the communal parts of blocks of flats and pre-work surveys for trades, we cover floor tiles, flues and soffits and more.
Village houses like those in Eversley Centre have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Eversley Centre questions
Do you cover Eversley Centre from London?
Eversley Centre is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Eversley Centre and the area around Crowthorne station?
Yes, we cover Eversley Centre and the area towards Crowthorne station, about 2.5 miles north-east.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
The process
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- 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
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Warn neighbours if needed

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Common reasons for surveys in Eversley Centre
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Rented homes between tenancies
Schools such as Charles Kingsley's 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 generally where that starts.

Which option is right?
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Travel and parking
- The size and age of the building
- The survey scope
- How much there is
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
