Common questions in Tiddington
Is asbestos common in Tiddington homes?
If your home in Tiddington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Tiddington from London?
We cover Tiddington, about 45 miles from central London.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Tiddington?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Is a survey needed before building work in Tiddington?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.

Weighing up your options

Why people choose us
- Condition ratings, not just a list

After the job
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
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.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Before booking, note that:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
How it works
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
