Asbestos survey near Holmer Green

Looking after things afterwards

Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.

If asbestos stays in the building:

  • Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
  • Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
  • Survey first, then book the trades
  • Have any old surveys or plans ready

What to avoid

Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Asbestos survey for Holmer Green properties

The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. From workplaces built before 2000 and surveys requested by builders before work, we cover boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and soffits and more.

Homes in towns and villages like Holmer Green range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Holmer Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

If your business premises in Holmer Green were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

What’s included, and what isn’t

Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:

  • A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
  • Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
  • 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’ll advise.

What we deal with

  • Water tanks and flues
  • Pipe lagging
  • Floor tiles and adhesive
  • Garage and shed roofs
  • Ceiling tiles
  • Boiler cupboards and panels
  • Soffits and porch canopies
  • Cement sheets and cladding
  • Roofing felt and bitumen
  • Artex and textured coatings

Materials we deal with

Textured coatings

Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.

Floor tiles and adhesive

Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.

Questions from Holmer Green

Do you work near Great Missenden station?

Yes. Great Missenden station is about 2.7 miles north of Holmer Green, and we cover both.

Is asbestos common in Holmer Green homes?

Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Is a survey needed before building work in Holmer Green?

Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

What if my house is newer?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.

Do you work in Holmer Green?

Yes. We cover Holmer Green and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Do you survey commercial buildings in Holmer Green?

Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.

What happens

If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. The work area is kept clear while we are working.

  1. Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
  2. We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
  3. Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
  4. An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
  5. You receive the report, with results and what to do next

Getting ready

  • Make sure we can get to the area
