Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

FAQs for Tackley
Do older homes in Tackley have asbestos?
Any home in Tackley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Tackley?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work in Tackley?
Yes, Tackley is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
After we have finished in Tackley
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
A few practical points:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Book the survey before booking builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Work done to the regulations
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Quotes that spell out the scope
See our prices page or our cost guide.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
