About our asbestos survey in Ewelme

Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Ewelme, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Typical materials include water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles, and people typically contact us about public and community buildings and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects.

In a village like Ewelme, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

After we’ve finished in Ewelme

Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.

Keeping things safe:

Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Keep pets and children out of the way on the day

What to avoid

Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.

About asbestos surveys

For landlords, agents and businesses

If your business premises in Ewelme were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

What it costs

The cost depends on:

Material and condition
How many outbuildings are included
The building’s size and layout
The survey type

How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Photos that help

Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:

Street parking nearby
A clear close-up
An idea of size
Cracks or breaks

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

DIY and asbestos

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Materials we deal with

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.

Pipe lagging

Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.

What we do and do not cover

Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we deal with

Ceiling tiles
Roofing felt and bitumen
Cement sheets and cladding
Artex and textured coatings
Pipe lagging
Boiler cupboards and panels
Garage and shed roofs
Floor tiles and adhesive
Water tanks and flues
Soffits and porch canopies

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Ewelme

Do you survey schools and community buildings around Ewelme?

Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.

Do you come out to small villages like Ewelme?

We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.

Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?

No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.

When can you start?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

What does licensed work mean?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Does someone need to be there?

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.

Choosing the right option

An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
