Asbestos survey near Loosley Row
What you are planning in Loosley Row decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll recommend the right one. From managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, we cover boiler cupboard panels, soffits and floor tiles.
Rural homes near Loosley Row have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Afterwards
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Don’ts
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The size and age of the building
- The type of survey you need
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Loosley Row, 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.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
If you manage lettings around Saunderton station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- 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.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Common questions in Loosley Row
Could my house in Loosley Row contain asbestos?
Any home in Loosley Row built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you survey a school or hall near Loosley Row?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
