Asbestos survey in Winkfield Row
About to refurbish in Winkfield Row? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Typical jobs include pre-work surveys for trades and schools, halls and community buildings, involving boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and floor tiles.
Village surveys around Winkfield Row can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

For businesses and landlords in Winkfield Row
If you run a business from older premises in Winkfield Row, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Why people call us in Winkfield Row
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That’s why so many buildings in Bracknell Forest can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Checks on rental property
Non-domestic buildings, Winkfield St Mary's CofE Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- The number of samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Areas included and excluded
After the job
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
After we have finished:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

FAQs for Winkfield Row
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Winkfield Row?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Winkfield Row and the area around Martins Heron station?
Yes. Martins Heron station is about 1.6 miles south-west of Winkfield Row, and we cover both.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
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.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
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.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Tell us about parking and access

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, which is why surveying first tends to save money. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
