About our asbestos survey in Radclive
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 Radclive, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Whether it’s surveys requested by builders before work and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we deal with garage roofs, pipe lagging and floor tiles.
Village properties around Radclive often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Radclive
Can you survey a school or hall near Radclive?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do older homes in Radclive have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Radclive?
Yes, we do: Radclive is within the area we cover in Buckinghamshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
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.
Step by step
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory

Before we arrive

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Options to consider in Radclive
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
