Asbestos survey for Sedrup
Common reasons for surveys in Sedrup
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
Typical jobs in Sedrup include:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Public and community buildings
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Surveys requested by builders before work
Planning work on an older building in Sedrup, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

Asbestos survey for Sedrup properties
For landlords and managing agents in Sedrup, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. People often contact us about demolition and strip-out and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, including pipe lagging, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels.
Village houses like those in Sedrup have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
FAQs for Sedrup
Do you work near Aylesbury station?
Yes, we cover Sedrup and the area towards Aylesbury station, about 1.7 miles north-east.
How far is Sedrup from London?
Sedrup is about 38 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share 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 a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
After we’ve finished in Sedrup
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.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

Weighing up your options
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Sedrup must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The process
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
