About our asbestos survey in Shipton Bellinger
What you’re planning in Shipton Bellinger decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will match the survey to the plan. Typical materials include soffits, textured ceilings and flues, and typical jobs are purchases of older homes and buildings and planned refurbishment work.
In a village like Shipton Bellinger, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Keeping things safe:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.

The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Shipton Bellinger
Do you come out to small villages like Shipton Bellinger?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Grateley station?
Yes, we cover Shipton Bellinger and the area towards Grateley station, about 3.4 miles south-east.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there is no single place to look.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Demolition projects
- Planned refurbishment work
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Checks on rental property

Comparing quotes
- The number of samples
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Areas included and excluded
Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
