Asbestos survey near Shenley Church End
About our asbestos survey in Shenley Church End
Planning building work in Shenley Church End? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. People often contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, including garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings.
In a smaller place like Shenley Church End, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies

For businesses and landlords in Shenley Church End
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What we deal with in Shenley Church End
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in Milton Keynes can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
For a school like Glastonbury Thorn School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which areas and materials are covered
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What happens
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Warn neighbours if needed

Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
