Asbestos survey in Huntercombe
About our asbestos survey in Huntercombe
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Huntercombe. From demolition projects and purchases of older homes and buildings, we deal with soffits, textured ceilings and garage roofs.
In places like Huntercombe, surveys typically cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Huntercombe questions
Do you work near Burnham station?
Yes. Burnham station is close to the centre of Huntercombe, and we cover the whole area.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Huntercombe?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Huntercombe?
That depends on what you are planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you help with a shop or office?
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.
Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding

Why people call us in Huntercombe

Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Which option is right?
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. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
