A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Typical jobs include workplaces built before 2000 and the communal parts of blocks of flats, involving soffits, pipe lagging and textured ceilings.
Village surveys around Maids Moreton can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

FAQs for Maids Moreton
Can you survey a school or hall near Maids Moreton?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos common in Maids Moreton homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Maids Moreton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
How it works
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.

Choosing the right option
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. Our guide explains which you need. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
How we price an asbestos survey
When we quote, we look at:
- Access to the area
- The survey type

- The type of material and its condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Looking after things afterwards

Staying safe afterwards:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
