About our asbestos survey in Flexford
If a building in Flexford dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Typical jobs include contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, involving floor tiles, garage roofs and pipe lagging.
Around a village like Flexford, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Flexford: your questions answered
Do older homes in Flexford have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Wanborough station?
Yes. Wanborough station is close to the centre of Flexford, and we cover the whole area.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
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 does not typically sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Flexford, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Which option is right?
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of materials to sample
- How big the building is
- The survey type
- Material and condition
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An idea of size
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
