About our asbestos survey in Timsbury
Our surveys in Timsbury cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. People often contact us about pre-purchase checks on older properties and workplaces built before 2000, including textured ceilings, boiler cupboard panels and flues.
Village surveys around Timsbury can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Duty holders and landlords in Timsbury
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Choosing the right option
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Work done to the regulations
- The right survey for your plans
- Records for your files

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Common questions in Timsbury
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Timsbury?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Timsbury from London?
Timsbury is about 69 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Some practical advice:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Book the survey before you book builders
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
How we work
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: 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.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
