About our asbestos survey in Kingsey
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Kingsey, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Typical jobs include refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, including floor tiles, water tanks and textured ceilings.
Around a village like Kingsey, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Which option is right?
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’re about to work, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
In older properties, we often see:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Planned refurbishment work
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you manage lettings around Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Kingsey
Do older homes in Kingsey have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Kingsey can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Kingsey?
That depends on what you’re planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Step by step
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Preparing for the visit
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Some practical advice:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Kingsey must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
