About our asbestos survey in Waddesdon
Our surveys in Waddesdon 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. Typical jobs include shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and pre-work surveys for trades, involving flues, pipe lagging and floor tiles.
Around a village like Waddesdon, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels

FAQs for Waddesdon
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Waddesdon?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Waddesdon and the area around Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes. Aylesbury Vale Parkway station is about 2.8 miles east of Waddesdon, and we cover both.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
