About our asbestos survey in Wick Hill
The type of survey you need in Wick Hill depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will match the survey to the plan. Typical jobs include the communal parts of blocks of flats and buying a property built before 2000, including textured ceilings, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
In Wick Hill, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Wick Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover Wick Hill and the area around Bracknell station?
Yes, we cover Wick Hill and the area towards Bracknell station, about 0.7 miles south-west.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Wick Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Which option is right?
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Wick Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much there is
- Parking and access charges
- What the material is and its state
- The number of materials to sample
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.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
- A wide shot showing where the material is
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

What to avoid

Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
