Asbestos survey near Uffington
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Uffington. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. We often deal with textured ceilings, soffits and floor tiles, and typical jobs are demolition projects and rented homes between tenancies.
Village properties around Uffington often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why people choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work done to the regulations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
See how we quote and published price ranges.
Responsibilities for owners
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.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Uffington: your questions answered
Do you cover Uffington from London?
We cover Uffington, about 63 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Uffington?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Looking after things afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
