Asbestos survey for Leafield properties
What you’re planning in Leafield decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We will recommend the right one. From demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and common parts of flats and HMOs, we cover floor tiles, pipe lagging and garage roofs.
Village houses like those in Leafield have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The size and age of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How many samples are needed
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A picture of the whole area
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A clear close-up
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Common questions in Leafield
Do you come out to small villages like Leafield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Leafield?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not normally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Why people call us in Leafield
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in Oxfordshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
These are some of the things we deal with in Leafield:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition projects
If you have an older property in Leafield, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or anywhere else, survey the areas you are working on before work starts.
What your quote should include
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- The number of samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
Should you do it yourself?
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.
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Don’ts
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Clear the way to the work area

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Leafield must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically well bound in.

Your options compared
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
