About our asbestos survey in Naphill
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Naphill. From common parts of flats and HMOs and pre-work surveys for trades, we deal with garage roofs, flues and textured ceilings.
Village houses like those in Naphill have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

How we price an asbestos survey
Our quotes take into account:
- The building’s size and layout
- How much there is
- The survey type
- Access to the area
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Labels, if any
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- The parking area
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels

Which option is right?
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Buckinghamshire can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
If you manage lettings around Saunderton station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Before you book anyone
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- The number of samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The report contents
For businesses and landlords in Naphill
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The process
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, for the report. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Getting ready
- Let us know where we can park
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Let us know if something’s broken

Naphill: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Naphill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats normally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

What else we do in Naphill
What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
To avoid problems in future:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
