Asbestos survey near Froyle
Froyle questions
Is asbestos common in Froyle homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Froyle from London?
Froyle is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Froyle?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
Prices and what affects them
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of survey you need
- Access to the area
- How many different materials need sampling
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- Damaged areas
- An overall view
- The parking area
- How we’d reach it
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Common reasons for surveys in Froyle
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Pre-work surveys for trades
Planning work on an older building in Froyle, whether near Church of St Mary of the Assumption or elsewhere? Get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.
Comparing quotes
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The number of samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
