Asbestos survey for Green End
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Asbestos survey for Green End properties
Managing agents and landlords in Green End use surveys so trades know what to avoid. Common materials are water tanks, flues and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are community buildings and halls and buying a property built before 2000.
Village houses like those in Green End 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, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Green End must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The size of the job
- How much sampling is needed
- How many samples are needed
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Visible markings
- Cracks or breaks
- How we’d reach it
- Where we could park
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Typical surveys in Green End
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in Buckinghamshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
These come up again and again:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Schools such as The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope, in writing
- Whether VAT is included
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264

Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:

- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment

Your options compared
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Accredited laboratory results
- Clear advice on your options
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
Read how we price jobs or published price ranges.
After the job
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Questions from Green End
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Green End?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats generally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is a survey needed before building work in Green End?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
