More for properties in Hinksey Hill
For businesses and landlords in Hinksey Hill
For managing agents and freeholders in Hinksey Hill, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Reports and results you can share

Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
What we deal with in Hinksey Hill
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Community buildings and halls
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
If you let flats or houses near Oxford station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
How it works
If a material is damaged, we’ll say so before we leave, so you can keep people away. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- 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
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
