Asbestos survey in Shottesbrooke
FAQs for Shottesbrooke
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Shottesbrooke?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do older homes in Shottesbrooke have asbestos?
Any home in Shottesbrooke built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
About our asbestos survey in Shottesbrooke
Buying an older property in Shottesbrooke? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Duty holders and landlords in Shottesbrooke
For managing agents and freeholders in Shottesbrooke, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What we deal with in Shottesbrooke
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
These are some of the things we deal with in Shottesbrooke:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition projects
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
If you manage lettings around Twyford station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Keeping things safe:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Book the survey before booking builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
