Asbestos survey near Hedsor
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Hedsor, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Whether it’s buying a property built before 2000 and surveys requested by builders before work, we deal with garage roofs, flues and boiler cupboard panels.
Village houses like those in Hedsor have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Common reasons for surveys in Hedsor
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
In older properties, we often see:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Rented homes due for maintenance
If you have an older property in Hedsor, near Cores End United Reformed Church or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Which areas and materials are covered

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
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
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging

Do you work near Bourne End station?
Yes, we cover Hedsor and the area towards Bourne End station, about 1 mile west.
Is asbestos common in Hedsor homes?
Any home in Hedsor built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
