Asbestos survey for Ledborough
How asbestos survey works in Ledborough
What you’re planning in Ledborough decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We will recommend the right one. Typical jobs include shops, offices and industrial units and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, including textured ceilings, soffits and flues.
In a village like Ledborough, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

Questions from Ledborough
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Ledborough?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
For businesses and landlords in Ledborough
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
How we work
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Warn neighbours if needed

Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally well bound in.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Planned refurbishment work
- Workplaces built before 2000
Non-domestic buildings, St Mary and All Saints CofE Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- How many samples are included
- What you will receive in writing
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
