Asbestos survey near Simpson
Planning building work in Simpson? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Whether it’s managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and demolition and strip-out, we cover floor tiles, garage roofs and soffits.
Village surveys around Simpson can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Helpful guides
Common reasons for surveys in Simpson
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Public and community buildings
Planning work on an older building in Simpson, whether near Church of St Thomas or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Going forward:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Questions from Simpson
Do you work near Bow Brickhill station?
Yes. Bow Brickhill station is about 1.2 miles south-east of Simpson, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Simpson?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
