Roofing felt and bitumen

Asbestos survey for Kiln Green properties
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Typical jobs include workplaces built before 2000 and rented homes due for maintenance, involving soffits, flues and garage roofs.
Village houses like those in Kiln Green have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Places near Kiln Green
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

FAQs for Kiln Green
Can you survey a school or hall near Kiln Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work near Wargrave station?
Yes. Wargrave station is about 2 miles west of Kiln Green, and we cover both.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Keeping things safe:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
The process
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We recommend the right type of survey

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
A school such as Knowl Hill Church of England Primary Academy counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.
What your quote should include
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What you will receive in writing
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
Options to consider in Kiln Green
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
