About asbestos survey in MK43
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. People often contact us about kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, involving flues, pipe lagging and garage roofs.
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, which goes into the report.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the 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
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps

Where we survey in MK43
From Hulcote to 1 villages and hamlets, buildings across MK43 range from terraces and estates to farms and industrial units, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Town surveys are often for homes and businesses; rural surveys often include outbuildings.
Hulcote: Planning work on an older building in Hulcote, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere? Survey the areas you’re working on before work starts. If you’re a landlord near Ridgmont station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
After we’ve finished in MK43
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- How easy it is to reach
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- What the material is and its state
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The parking area
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in MK43, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Which option is right?
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted.
Before you book anyone
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What the report or result will contain
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
FAQs for MK43
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
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.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
