About our asbestos survey in Terriers
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. Whether it’s pre-purchase checks on older properties and planned refurbishment work, we cover boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and water tanks and more.
A survey in Terriers typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Terriers
Do you work near High Wycombe station?
Yes, we cover Terriers and the area towards High Wycombe station, about 1 mile south-west.
Do older homes in Terriers have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Terriers can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats normally do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
For businesses and landlords in Terriers
If your business premises in Terriers were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Terriers, 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The size and age of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- Which survey type fits your plans
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph

Typical surveys in Terriers
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
Schools such as The Royal Grammar School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- What you will receive in writing

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.

A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- 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
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear

What we do and don’t cover
Before booking, note that:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
