Asbestos survey in Whitehouse
How asbestos survey works in Whitehouse
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Whitehouse, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Typical jobs include demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, including flues, soffits and garage roofs.
In Whitehouse, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What happens next
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- The size of the job
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The type of survey you need
- The building’s size and layout
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Common questions in Whitehouse
How far is Whitehouse from London?
We cover Whitehouse, about 48 miles from central London.
Do you work near Milton Keynes Central station?
Yes, we cover Whitehouse and the area towards Milton Keynes Central station, about 1.7 miles east.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Whitehouse?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.
For businesses and landlords in Whitehouse
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, generally well bound in.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Your options compared
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
