How asbestos survey works in Longford
Managing agents and landlords in Longford use surveys so trades know what to avoid, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. From purchases of older homes and buildings and shops, offices and industrial units, we cover floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Village properties around Longford often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Surveys around Longford
Longford is about 2 miles south-west of West Drayton, in Slough. We cover Longford as part of Slough, whatever the size of the job. Longford is one of 31 towns and villages in Slough we cover. We work right across the region, from Longford to Guildford (about 16 miles away).
Schools such as Pippins School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is typically where that starts. If you let flats or houses near Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
We carry out surveys all over SL3, UB7 and TW6 and the streets around it. Local streets include Wallis Road, Widgeon Road and Stanwell Moor Road; we cover every one.

- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples

Which option is right?
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Longford, you have a duty to 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.
Why people call us in Longford
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Surveys requested by builders before work
If you have an older property in Longford, near Church of St Mary or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Doing it yourself?

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Questions from Longford
Do you work near Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station?
Yes. Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station is about 0.5 miles south-east of Longford, and we cover both.
How far is Longford from London?
We cover Longford, about 17 miles from central London.
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.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- The survey scope
- How much there is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Material and condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- A picture of the whole area
- Where we could park
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
You will get a written quote. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details.
The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
