About our asbestos survey in Quarrendon Estate
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Quarrendon Estate, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include checks on rental property and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, involving water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles.
Homes in areas like Quarrendon Estate range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
For businesses and landlords in Quarrendon Estate
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Quarrendon Estate, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The size and age of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A rough size or measurement
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Typical surveys in Quarrendon Estate
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Demolition projects
If you’re a landlord near Aylesbury station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
What to look for in a quote
- What the report or result will contain
- VAT, clearly stated
- The scope, in writing
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding

What paperwork will I get?

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Let us know where we can park
