Asbestos survey in Tubney
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
How asbestos survey works in Tubney
Plenty of older buildings, in Tubney as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Typical jobs include planned refurbishment work and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, involving pipe lagging, garage roofs and textured ceilings.
Village surveys around Tubney can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Your options compared
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
See how we quote and our cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The size and age of the building
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Labels, if any
- Approximate dimensions
- An overall view
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
Typical surveys in Tubney
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:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
A school such as Abingdon Preparatory School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before booking

Tubney questions
Do you cover Tubney from London?
We cover Tubney, about 56 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Tubney?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Tubney?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Tell us about parking and access
- Make sure we can get to the area
