Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once we are done:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Asbestos survey near Wroxton
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. People often contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and surveys requested by builders before work, including garage roofs, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
In a village like Wroxton, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Typical surveys in Wroxton
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
In older properties, we often see:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Planned refurbishment work
If you let flats or houses near Banbury station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
What your quote should include
- The number of samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The report contents
- VAT, clearly stated
Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Domestic and commercial work
- Condition assessed for every material

Wroxton questions
Do you cover Wroxton from London?
Wroxton is about 68 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Banbury station?
Yes, we cover Wroxton and the area towards Banbury station, about 3.1 miles east.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The size and age of the building
- The size of the job
- The number of materials to sample
- What the material is and its state
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
