Should you do it yourself?
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The process
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, for the report. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Weighing up your options

FAQs for Tutts Clump
Could my house in Tutts Clump contain asbestos?
Any home in Tutts Clump built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Tutts Clump?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
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.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work in Tutts Clump?
We do: Tutts Clump is within the area we cover in West Berkshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
