Asbestos survey near Wolverton
FAQs for Wolverton
Do you cover Wolverton from London?
We cover Wolverton, about 49 miles from central London.
Do you cover Wolverton and the area around Thatcham station?
Yes. Thatcham station is about 5 miles north of Wolverton, and we cover both.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
How asbestos survey works in Wolverton
Any building in Wolverton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. People often contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and community buildings and halls, involving garage roofs, soffits and floor tiles.
Village properties around Wolverton often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Your options compared
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. 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. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Read how we quote or our cost guide.
Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Survey first, then book the trades
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Wolverton, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
How it works
If a material is damaged, we’ll say so before we leave, so you can keep people away. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Getting ready
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Make sure we can get to the area

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
