Asbestos survey for Kingston Bagpuize properties

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Your options compared
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear advice on your options
- Houses, flats and business premises
See how we quote and published price ranges.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- Rented homes due for maintenance

FAQs for Kingston Bagpuize
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Kingston Bagpuize?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Kingston Bagpuize from London?
Kingston Bagpuize is about 58 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
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.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
