About our asbestos survey in Weston Underwood
Before you buy, build or let in Weston Underwood, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. People often contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and checks on rental property, involving pipe lagging, floor tiles and flues.
Rural homes near Weston Underwood have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Questions from Weston Underwood
Could my house in Weston Underwood contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Weston Underwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.

What else we do in Weston Underwood
After the job
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before booking builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Weston Underwood were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Weston Underwood must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The building’s size and layout
- Material and condition
- How many different materials need sampling
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Cracks or breaks
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
The process
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, so you can keep people away. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Getting ready
