Asbestos survey in Oakley Green
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Oakley Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
How asbestos survey works in Oakley Green
Managing agents and landlords in Oakley Green use surveys so trades know what to avoid, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. Typical jobs include the communal parts of blocks of flats and workplaces built before 2000, including garage roofs, pipe lagging and water tanks.
In a village like Oakley Green, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

FAQs for Oakley Green
Could my house in Oakley Green contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Oakley Green can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Oakley Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you cover Oakley Green?
We do: Oakley Green is within the area we cover in Windsor and Maidenhead. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Options to consider in Oakley Green
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
How we price an asbestos survey
Quotes vary because of:
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
- How many outbuildings are included
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- The parking area
- The access route
- Approximate dimensions
- A clear close-up
Every job is quoted in writing. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details.
Typical surveys in Oakley Green
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition and strip-out
Schools such as Alexander First School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before you book
- The number of samples
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- The report contents
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
