For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Little Coxwell, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Which option is right?
Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. Our guide explains which you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

What else we do in Little Coxwell
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The type of 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.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area
- Visible markings
- A clear close-up
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Common reasons for surveys in Little Coxwell
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
In older properties, we often see:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Planned refurbishment work
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition projects
Non-domestic buildings, Faringdon Community College among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t

Little Coxwell questions
Could my house in Little Coxwell contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Little Coxwell from London?
We cover Little Coxwell, about 65 miles from central London.
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.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not normally sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
