Your questions about an asbestos survey in Long Crendon
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Long Crendon?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos common in Long Crendon homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Long Crendon?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
For businesses and landlords in Long Crendon
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common reasons for surveys in Long Crendon
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That’s why so many buildings in Buckinghamshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
Planning work on an older building in Long Crendon, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
- 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
