Asbestos help in Norham Manor
Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
What to avoid
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
How asbestos survey works in Norham Manor
Planning building work in Norham Manor? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. We often deal with garage roofs, floor tiles and flues, and people generally contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects.
Homes in towns and villages like Norham Manor range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Norham Manor
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes, we cover Norham Manor and the area towards Oxford station, about 1 mile south-west.
Is asbestos common in Norham Manor homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Norham Manor may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you work in Norham Manor?
Yes. We cover Norham Manor and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
DIY and asbestos
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
