Your questions about an asbestos survey in Woughton on the Green
Do you come out to small villages like Woughton on the Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Fenny Stratford station?

What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you are planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

Helpful guides
What we deal with in Woughton on the Green
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That’s why so many buildings in Milton Keynes can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Demolition projects
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
If you’re a landlord near Fenny Stratford station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
What your quote should include
- The number of samples
- If the price includes VAT
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- The scope of the job, in writing
For businesses and landlords in Woughton on the Green
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What we do and don’t cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Afterwards

A few practical points:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades

Don’ts

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
