About our asbestos survey in Horsleys Green
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Horsleys Green. Typical jobs include surveys requested by builders before work and pre-purchase checks on older properties, involving garage roofs, floor tiles and boiler cupboard panels.
Village properties around Horsleys Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
What happens
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Parking close by makes the day easier.
- 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
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Getting ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Clear the way to the work area
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Horsleys Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Which option is right?
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you’re comparing like with like. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Horsleys Green: your questions answered
Do you work near Saunderton station?
Yes, we cover Horsleys Green and the area towards Saunderton station, about 2.6 miles north-east.
Do you cover small places like Horsleys Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Common reasons for surveys in Horsleys Green
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Buckinghamshire can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Public and community buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
Halls and leisure centres near Horsleys Green fall into the non-domestic category, so the duty to manage applies.
