Mill Green: your questions answered
Could my house in Mill Green contain asbestos?
If your home in Mill Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Mill Green and the area around Thatcham station?
Yes, we cover Mill Green and the area towards Thatcham station, about 2 miles north.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Is a survey needed before building work in Mill Green?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
About our asbestos survey in Mill Green
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Whether it’s community buildings and halls and rented homes between tenancies, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, flues and soffits.
Village properties around Mill Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What we deal with in Mill Green
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
These are some of the things we deal with in Mill Green:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Rented homes due for maintenance
A school such as Cheam School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before booking
- How many samples are included
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The survey type
- The quantity or area
- The building’s size and layout
- The survey scope
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- The access route
- Labels, if any
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Each job is priced individually. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mill Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What we do and do not cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen

How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We recommend the right type of survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- Samples go to the laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Before we arrive
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
