Asbestos survey in Ufton Green

Asbestos survey in Ufton Green
Planning building work in Ufton Green? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. People often contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, including soffits, floor tiles and pipe lagging.
Village houses like those in Ufton Green have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

FAQs for Ufton Green
Can you survey a school or hall near Ufton Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Ufton Green and the area around Aldermaston station?
Yes. Aldermaston station is about 1.8 miles west of Ufton Green, and we cover both.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is a survey needed before building work in Ufton Green?
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.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do you work on commercial premises?
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.
After the job
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Some practical advice:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey type
- The survey scope
- How much sampling is needed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area
- Visible markings
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
