Asbestos survey in Frilford
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.

Asbestos survey for Frilford properties
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Frilford must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Whether it’s the communal parts of blocks of flats and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we cover floor tiles, water tanks and pipe lagging and more.
Around a village like Frilford, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How we price an asbestos survey
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- The size of the job
- The number of materials to sample
- The building’s size and layout
- Which survey type fits your plans
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- A picture of the whole area
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- How we’d reach it
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
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.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is 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.

What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings

- Soffits and porch canopies
Questions from Frilford
Do older homes in Frilford have asbestos?
If your home in Frilford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Frilford?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Frilford?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
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 get advice.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What we deal with in Frilford
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Oxfordshire can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
A school such as Abingdon Preparatory School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- The report contents
- If the price includes VAT
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing
