Asbestos survey near Mursley
We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, whichever fits your plans in Mursley. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. We often deal with boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and soffits, and typical jobs are surveys requested by builders before work and rented homes between tenancies.
Around a village like Mursley, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
What we deal with in Mursley
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
These come up again and again:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Community buildings and halls
If you have an older property in Mursley, near Church of St Mary or anywhere else, survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What the report or result will contain
The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Common questions in Mursley
Do you cover small places like Mursley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Mursley contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Mursley can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
For businesses and landlords in Mursley
If your business premises in Mursley were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Travel and parking
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- Where we could park
- An idea of size
- A picture of the whole area
- Damaged areas
