How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
How to prepare
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Mention any parking restrictions

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Marsh Gibbon
How far is Marsh Gibbon from London?
We cover Marsh Gibbon, about 50 miles from central London.
Do you work near Bicester North station?
Yes. Bicester North station is about 3.7 miles west of Marsh Gibbon, and we cover both.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats normally do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you cover Marsh Gibbon?
Yes, we do: Marsh Gibbon is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
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. See our guide to which survey you need. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
How we price an asbestos survey

What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Going forward:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
