Asbestos survey near Winton
Asbestos survey for Winton properties
Any building in Winton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Common materials are floor tiles, garage roofs and textured ceilings, and people generally contact us about community buildings and halls and demolition and strip-out.
In a village like Winton, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that is needed.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Clear notes on any areas not reached

How we price an asbestos survey
When we quote, we look at:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
- How big the building is
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
For a quick quote, include:
- Damaged areas
- Visible markings
- A picture of the whole area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
What’s included, and what is not
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

After we’ve finished in Winton
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After we’ve finished:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before booking builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you manage or own a block in Winton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Questions from Winton
Could my house in Winton contain asbestos?
If your home in Winton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Winton from London?
We cover Winton, about 49 miles from central London.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How it works
If we find something that’s damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, so you can keep people away. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Getting ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Mention any damage before we arrive
