Asbestos survey for Eynsham properties
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Eynsham, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is normally the starting point. Common materials are pipe lagging, floor tiles and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are checks on rental property and shops, offices and industrial units.
Eynsham has a mix of older and newer homes, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Eynsham
Is asbestos common in Eynsham homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Eynsham and the area around Hanborough station?
Yes. Hanborough station is about 2.9 miles north of Eynsham, and we cover both.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do you cover Eynsham?
Yes, we do: our area includes Eynsham and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.

What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Nearby places to Eynsham
Where asbestos turns up
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
These come up again and again:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Demolition projects
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
If you are a landlord near Hanborough station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
What to look for in a quote
- The number of samples
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The scope of the job, in writing
For businesses and landlords in Eynsham
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
For managing agents and freeholders in Eynsham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Options to consider in Eynsham
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Recommendations in plain English
- Clear written quotes

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
What happens next
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Once we are done:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before you book builders
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
