Asbestos survey in Piddington
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Piddington, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is typically the starting point. Whether it’s shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we cover boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and pipe lagging.
Village surveys around Piddington can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning

Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
After we have finished:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

For businesses and landlords in Piddington
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Piddington: your questions answered
Do you work near Saunderton station?
Yes. Saunderton station is about 2.5 miles north of Piddington, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
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.
Options to consider in Piddington
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
