Where asbestos turns up

These are some of the things we deal with in Fringford:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Schools, halls and community buildings

Asbestos survey for Fringford properties
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Fringford. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. People often contact us about surveys requested by builders before work and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, including floor tiles, textured ceilings and pipe lagging.
Village houses like those in Fringford have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Your options compared
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

If you have an older property in Fringford, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Questions from Fringford
How far is Fringford from London?
Fringford is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you survey a school or hall near Fringford?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.

Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
