Asbestos survey in North Moreton
How asbestos survey works in North Moreton
Plenty of older buildings, in North Moreton as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. Typical jobs include rented homes due for maintenance and common parts of flats and HMOs, involving flues, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
Village properties around North Moreton often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

North Moreton questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around North Moreton?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you come out to small villages like North Moreton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once we’re done:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Where asbestos turns up
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Community buildings and halls
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Rented homes due for maintenance
Schools such as South Moreton Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The report contents
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Written quotes that say what’s included

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
How it works
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, before going to an accredited laboratory. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion.
- 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
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
