Asbestos survey in Roxbourne
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Roxbourne, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Typical materials include floor tiles, textured ceilings and water tanks, and people normally contact us about refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and purchases of older homes and buildings.
London buildings in areas like Roxbourne have generally been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Roxbourne
Do older homes in Roxbourne have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near South Ruislip station?
Yes, we cover Roxbourne and the area towards South Ruislip station, about 1.4 miles south-west.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
What affects the price in Roxbourne
The cost depends on:
- How many different materials need sampling
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The survey type
- Parking and access charges
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Where asbestos turns up
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Public and community buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
If you have an older property in Roxbourne, near St. Andrew’s Church or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
What to look for in a quote
- The number of samples
- Whether VAT is included
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Suitable insurance for the work
For businesses and landlords in Roxbourne
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Roxbourne, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
