Asbestos survey for Wildridings
Duty holders and landlords in Wildridings
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Asbestos survey for Wildridings properties
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. Common materials are garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and flues, and people usually contact us about surveys requested by builders before work and demolition and strip-out.
A survey in Wildridings typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

Typical surveys in Wildridings
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
In older properties, we often see:
- Public and community buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
For rented homes close to Bracknell station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The scope, in writing
- The report contents
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Wildridings
Do older homes in Wildridings have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wildridings may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Wildridings from London?
We cover Wildridings, about 29 miles from central London.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats usually do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.

If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Let us know where we can park
