Asbestos survey in Ovington
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
Asbestos survey near Ovington
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Ovington. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical jobs include rented homes between tenancies and workplaces built before 2000, involving flues, textured ceilings and water tanks.
Village properties around Ovington often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, normally well bound in.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
How we work
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Before we arrive

- Access to the area
- How many different materials need sampling
- The quantity or area
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An idea of size
- Damaged areas
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance

What we deal with in Ovington
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition and strip-out
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Schools, halls and community buildings
If you have an older property in Ovington, near Church of St Peter or anywhere else, survey the areas you are working on before work starts.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

Ovington questions
Do you cover small places like Ovington?

We cover Ovington, about 56 miles from central London.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
