About our asbestos survey in Wineham
Buying an older property in Wineham? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. From refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and demolition and strip-out, we cover boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and floor tiles.
Around a village like Wineham, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Wineham were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
How we price an asbestos survey
Every quote reflects:
- The type of material and its condition
- The type of survey you need
- How many different materials need sampling
- How much there is
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Cracks or breaks
- Where we could park
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Visible markings
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Weighing up your options
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you’re comparing like with like. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Questions from Wineham
Do you come out to small villages like Wineham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Wineham have asbestos?
If your home in Wineham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
The process
If a material is damaged, we’ll say so before we leave, so you can keep people away. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Before we arrive
- Dig out previous surveys
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
