About our asbestos survey in Little Ickford
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Little Ickford, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. From demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and workplaces built before 2000, we deal with floor tiles, textured ceilings and pipe lagging.
Around a village like Little Ickford, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

How we work
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Let us know where we can park

What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The size and age of the building
- The quantity or area
- How many different materials need sampling
- How easy it is to reach
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Options to consider in Little Ickford
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Before booking, note that:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Little Ickford
How far is Little Ickford from London?
Little Ickford is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Little Ickford?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not usually sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If your business premises in Little Ickford were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

To avoid problems in future:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Typical surveys in Little Ickford
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Checks on rental property
- Demolition projects
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you are a landlord near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
