Asbestos survey near Sunningdale
Asbestos survey in Sunningdale
For landlords and managing agents in Sunningdale, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. Typical materials include water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and flues, and people normally contact us about pre-work surveys for trades and rented homes due for maintenance.
A survey in Sunningdale typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sunningdale, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Step by step
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Make sure we can get to the area
Getting a price
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
After we’ve finished:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
How we price an asbestos survey
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- Access to the area
- The type of survey you need
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The building’s size and layout
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The access route
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Street parking nearby
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.

Questions from Sunningdale
Do older homes in Sunningdale have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sunningdale may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Sunningdale station?
Yes, we cover Sunningdale and the area towards Sunningdale station, about 0.5 miles south.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you work in Sunningdale?
Yes. We cover Sunningdale and the surrounding area as part of Windsor and Maidenhead. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What we deal with in Sunningdale
