About our asbestos survey in Lavendon
Before you buy, build or let in Lavendon, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Whether it’s pre-purchase checks on older properties and checks on rental property, we cover water tanks, floor tiles and pipe lagging.
Village houses like those in Lavendon have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Lavendon: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Lavendon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Lavendon from London?
Lavendon is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Weighing up your options
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Surveying buildings in Lavendon
Lavendon is about 7 miles north-east of Newport Pagnell, in Milton Keynes. Lavendon has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We cover all 73 towns and villages in Milton Keynes, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 38 miles away.
For a school like Lavendon School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
