About our asbestos survey in Pitchcott
Buying an older property in Pitchcott? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. Typical jobs include surveys requested by builders before work and common parts of flats and HMOs, including soffits, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels.
Village surveys around Pitchcott can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

After we have finished in Pitchcott
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After we have finished:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Pitchcott, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Questions from Pitchcott
Could my house in Pitchcott contain asbestos?
Any home in Pitchcott built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Pitchcott from London?
We cover Pitchcott, about 42 miles from central London.
Do you cover Pitchcott?
Yes. We cover Pitchcott and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually bound in the bitumen.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
