Asbestos survey in Foxendown
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. Whether it’s kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and common parts of flats and HMOs, we deal with water tanks, garage roofs and soffits and more.
Village properties around Foxendown often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Helpful guides
Options to consider in Foxendown
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 usually cheaper in the end. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Accredited laboratory results

Foxendown questions
Is asbestos common in Foxendown homes?
If your home in Foxendown was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Foxendown from London?
Foxendown is about 22 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
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.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
