Asbestos survey in Hardwick
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Hardwick. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical jobs include checks on rental property and pre-purchase checks on older properties, involving boiler cupboard panels, soffits and textured ceilings.
Rural homes near Hardwick have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hardwick must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
After we have finished in Hardwick
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Going forward:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas

Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.

Common questions in Hardwick
Do older homes in Hardwick have asbestos?
If your home in Hardwick was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Hardwick?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work in Hardwick?
Yes. We cover Hardwick and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Material and condition
- Access to the area
- How many outbuildings are included
- How many samples are needed
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- Street parking nearby
- A photo of the whole area
- An idea of size
- Labels, if any
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
