Temple: your questions answered
Do you cover Temple from London?
Temple is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Marlow station?
Yes, we cover Temple and the area towards Marlow station, about 1.6 miles north-east.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Temple?
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 will advise.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work in Temple?
Yes, we do: our area includes Temple and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
About our asbestos survey in Temple
Plenty of older buildings, in Temple as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. We often deal with pipe lagging, garage roofs and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about rented homes between tenancies and pre-purchase checks on older properties.
Rural homes near Temple have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. The work area is kept clear while we’re working.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Dig out previous surveys
Getting a price
Send us the address in Temple, a description and some photos: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Typical surveys in Temple
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition and strip-out
- Rented homes between tenancies
For rented homes close to Marlow station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Questions to ask before you book
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- VAT, clearly stated
Choosing the right option
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Across London and the South East

For businesses and landlords in Temple

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Temple must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
