Common questions in Wingrave
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Wingrave?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover small places like Wingrave?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Wingrave?
Yes, Wingrave is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not typically sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
About our asbestos survey in Wingrave
Buying an older property in Wingrave? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Common materials are flues, garage roofs and water tanks, and typical jobs are shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and purchases of older homes and buildings.
In a village like Wingrave, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wingrave must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
