Asbestos survey for Green Hailey
Asbestos survey in Green Hailey
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Green Hailey, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. We often deal with soffits, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are demolition projects and surveys requested by builders before work.
Village surveys around Green Hailey can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

What else we do in Green Hailey
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Duty holders and landlords in Green Hailey
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Green Hailey: your questions answered
Do you work near Monks Risborough station?
Yes. Monks Risborough station is about 1.5 miles north-west of Green Hailey, and we cover both.
Could my house in Green Hailey contain asbestos?
Any home in Green Hailey built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Green Hailey?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Green Hailey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
Common reasons for surveys in Green Hailey
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Buying a property built before 2000
For a school like Monks Risborough CofE Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
What your quote should include
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- How many samples are included
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
The process
If a material is damaged, we’ll say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
Getting ready
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

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:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
