Asbestos survey near Hedgerley
Our surveys in Hedgerley cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. We often deal with water tanks, soffits and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
In a village like Hedgerley, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Share any previous surveys or drawings

Helpful guides
Hedgerley questions
Do you cover Hedgerley and the area around Gerrards Cross station?
Yes, we cover Hedgerley and the area towards Gerrards Cross station, about 2.3 miles north-east.
Do you cover Hedgerley from London?
We cover Hedgerley, about 22 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Your options compared
Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Hedgerley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
These are some of the things we deal with in Hedgerley:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Public and community buildings
If you have an older property in Hedgerley, near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere else, survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
