Asbestos survey for Tickleback Row properties
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. Common materials are flues, water tanks and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and checks on rental property.
Rural homes near Tickleback Row have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in Tickleback Row
Do you cover Tickleback Row and the area around Bracknell station?
Yes. Bracknell station is about 2.3 miles south of Tickleback Row, and we cover both.
How far is Tickleback Row from London?
We cover Tickleback Row, about 29 miles from central London.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
To avoid problems in future:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Tickleback Row, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
What we deal with in Tickleback Row
You cannot tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Planned refurbishment work
For a school like Garth Hill College, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.
What your quote should include
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
