Typical surveys in Little London
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That is why so many buildings in Buckinghamshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition projects
- Buying a property built before 2000
- The communal parts of blocks of flats

Little London questions
Is asbestos common in Little London homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Little London may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Little London from London?
We cover Little London, about 47 miles from central London.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
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; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.

What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.

- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Share any previous surveys or drawings

How we price an asbestos survey
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- What the material is and its state
- The survey scope
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How much sampling is needed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- An overall view
- How we’d reach it
- Visible markings
- A close-up from a safe distance
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Which option is right?
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you’re comparing like with like. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Condition assessed for every material
- Work done to the regulations
- Practical recommendations
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Duty holders and landlords in Little London
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Little London must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
