Asbestos survey in Slough Green
Asbestos survey near Slough Green
Buying an older property in Slough Green? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Typical materials include floor tiles, garage roofs and water tanks, and typical jobs are purchases of older homes and buildings and shops, offices and industrial units.
Village properties around Slough Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Typical surveys in Slough Green
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 gives them that information.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Public and community buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
If you are a landlord near Balcombe station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- What the report or result will contain
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, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why people choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- The right survey for your plans
- Recommendations in plain English

How we price an asbestos survey
What changes the cost:
- How many outbuildings are included
- The number of materials to sample
- The building’s size and layout
- The type of material and its condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- A close-up from a safe distance
To get a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Slough Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Slough Green and the area around Balcombe station?
Yes, we cover Slough Green and the area towards Balcombe station, about 2.9 miles north-east.
Can you survey a school or hall near Slough Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
