About asbestos survey in MK17
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in MK17, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Typical materials include floor tiles, soffits and water tanks, and people typically contact us about pre-purchase checks on older properties and checks on rental property.
If a material is damaged, we’ll say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report.

Why people call us in MK17
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there’s no single place to look.
These are some of the things we deal with in MK17:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition and strip-out
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Community buildings and halls
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
For businesses and landlords in MK17
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Questions from MK17
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is a survey needed before building work in MK17?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
