Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging

What else we do in North Crawley
North Crawley: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like North Crawley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in North Crawley contain asbestos?
Any home in North Crawley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.

Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Duty holders and landlords in North Crawley
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
How we work
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, which goes into the report. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
How to prepare
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- Reports and results you can share
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Why people call us in North Crawley
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Milton Keynes can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Public and community buildings
