With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos survey in Hurley
About to refurbish in Hurley? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Whether it’s buying a property built before 2000 and checks on rental property, we cover flues, soffits and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Around a village like Hurley, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Questions from Hurley
How far is Hurley from London?
We cover Hurley, about 31 miles from central London.
Do you work near Marlow station?
Yes, we cover Hurley and the area towards Marlow station, about 2.6 miles north-east.
Is a survey needed before building work in Hurley?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in Hurley?
Yes, Hurley is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How it works
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Clear the way to the work area

Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of materials to sample
- The building’s size and layout
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Common reasons for surveys in Hurley
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Windsor and Maidenhead can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition projects
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
If you have an older property in Hurley, near Church of St Mary or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
What your quote should include
- Areas included and excluded
- How many samples are included
- What the report or result will contain
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Work done to the regulations
- Houses, flats and business premises

What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Once we are done:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
