Asbestos survey near Weston-on-the-Green
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Weston-on-the-Green, a survey answers the asbestos question.

We often deal with textured ceilings, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles, and typical jobs are kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and demolition and strip-out.

Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

FAQs for Weston-on-the-Green
Do you come out to small villages like Weston-on-the-Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Weston-on-the-Green contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Weston-on-the-Green can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
A few practical points:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- 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.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Weston-on-the-Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
