Asbestos survey near Whaddon
About our asbestos survey in Whaddon
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Whaddon, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include schools, halls and community buildings and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, involving floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings.
Village properties around Whaddon often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Whaddon: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Whaddon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Whaddon from London?
We cover Whaddon, about 46 miles from central London.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not generally take samples for analysis. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Duty holders and landlords in Whaddon
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Whaddon, you have a duty to 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.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Options to consider in Whaddon
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work

Why people call us in Whaddon

People normally contact us about one of these:
- Rented homes between tenancies

- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
