Asbestos survey in Sunninghill
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. People often contact us about rented homes due for maintenance and common parts of flats and HMOs, including textured ceilings, pipe lagging and flues.
A survey in Sunninghill typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What happens
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Do not disturb the material before we get there

People normally contact us about one of these:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition and strip-out

Questions from Sunninghill
Do you cover Sunninghill and the area around Ascot station?
Yes. Ascot station is about 1 mile west of Sunninghill, and we cover both.
Do you cover Sunninghill from London?
Sunninghill is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is a survey needed before building work in Sunninghill?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sunninghill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- Material and condition
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The survey type
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
