Why people call us in Thrupp
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Buying a property built before 2000
For rented homes close to Oxford Parkway station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

Your options compared
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 everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

Common questions in Thrupp
Do you come out to small villages like Thrupp?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Thrupp contain asbestos?
If your home in Thrupp was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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 normally needed.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you work in Thrupp?
Yes. We cover Thrupp and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Thrupp, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
