Asbestos survey in Sun Rising
Any building in Sun Rising built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. From demolition and strip-out and the communal parts of blocks of flats, we deal with floor tiles, soffits and pipe lagging.
Around a village like Sun Rising, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We only recommend work that is needed.

Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
To avoid problems in future:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
What we deal with in Sun Rising
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Community buildings and halls
Comparing quotes
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing
- How many samples are included
What happens
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear the way to the work area
- Move things out of the way carefully

Other services in Sun Rising
Sun Rising: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Sun Rising?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Sun Rising have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Sun Rising buildings and asbestos surveys
Sun Rising is about 6 miles north-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. For surveys in Sun Rising, tell us about parking and access when you get in touch. Sun Rising is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we work. We work right across the region, from Sun Rising to Oxford (about 27 miles away).
We carry out surveys all over OX15 and the streets around it. We can help with surveys on streets such as Sun Rising Hill and Sugarswell Lane. Neighbouring places we cover include Edgehill (1 mile north-east), Ratley (2 miles north-east) and Hornton (2 miles east). We also cover nearby towns such as Banbury (6 miles south-east), Chipping Norton (12 miles south), Neithrop (6 miles south-east), Grimsbury (7 miles south-east), Ruscote (6 miles south-east) and Bloxham (8 miles south-east).

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Which option is right?
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Before you book, note that:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
