Asbestos survey for New Hinksey
About our asbestos survey in New Hinksey
If you’re buying a home or building in New Hinksey from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. From pre-purchase checks on older properties and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we deal with flues, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels.
In New Hinksey, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in New Hinksey, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- How easy it is to reach
- How many different materials need sampling
- How much there is
- Parking and access charges
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Approximate dimensions
- Where we could park
- A wide shot showing where the material is
You’ll get a written quote. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Surveying buildings in New Hinksey
New Hinksey is about 1 mile south-west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We work across New Hinksey and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. New Hinksey is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we work.
If you are a landlord near Oxford station, a survey gives contractors the information they need. Schools such as New Hinksey Church of England Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
We cover surveys across the OX1 and OX4 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Manor Road, Edith Road and Weirs Lane; we cover every one. Nearby, we also cover South Hinksey (1 mile south-west), Redbridge (1 mile south), Grandpont (1 mile north-west), Donnington (1 mile east) and Hinksey Hill (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cover Didcot (9 miles south), Bicester (12 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (4 miles south), Witney (11 miles west), Carterton (15 miles west) and Thame (12 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find The Story Museum (1 mile north) and Oxford Castle and earlier settlement remains (1.1 miles north). Open spaces near New Hinksey include Hook Meadow and The Trap Grounds and Harcourt Hill.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Common questions in New Hinksey
How far is New Hinksey from London?
New Hinksey is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you survey a school or hall near New Hinksey?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do you cover New Hinksey?
Yes, we do: New Hinksey is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
After we’ve finished in New Hinksey
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
The process
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, for the report. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare

- Clear the way to the work area
- Tell us about parking and access

Helpful guides
Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Work done to the regulations
- Across London and the South East
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
