How asbestos survey works in Hungerford
Buying an older property in Hungerford? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. From shops, offices and industrial units and rented homes between tenancies, we deal with flues, textured ceilings and pipe lagging and more.
Village properties around Hungerford often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

How we price an asbestos survey
What changes the cost:
- How much sampling is needed
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The size and age of the building
- What the material is and its state
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
- An idea of size
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Hungerford, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Questions from Hungerford
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Hungerford?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover small places like Hungerford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Hungerford?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- The right survey for your plans
- Accredited laboratory results

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
After we’ve finished in Hungerford
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once we are done:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
