Asbestos survey in Kingham
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. 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 Kingham. We often deal with flues, pipe lagging and soffits, and people normally contact us about demolition and strip-out and buying a property built before 2000.
Rural homes near Kingham have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.

Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

After the job
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
To avoid problems in future:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Kingham questions
Do you come out to small villages like Kingham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Kingham station?
Yes. Kingham station is about 0.7 miles south of Kingham, and we cover both.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Kingham?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Kingham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
