Asbestos survey in Warfield
The scope of an asbestos survey
The usual limits are:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
About our asbestos survey in Warfield
The type of survey you need in Warfield depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will match the survey to the plan. Common materials are water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs, and people normally contact us about checks on rental property and schools, halls and community buildings.
Rural homes near Warfield have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common reasons for surveys in Warfield
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in Bracknell Forest can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition projects
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Got an older property in Warfield, close to Church of St Michael and All Angels or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
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, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Choosing the right option
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you’re comparing like with like. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

FAQs for Warfield
Do you cover Warfield and the area around Bracknell station?
Yes. Bracknell station is about 2.2 miles south of Warfield, and we cover both.
Do you cover Warfield from London?
Warfield is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats typically do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
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.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
