OUR PHILOSOPHY

Buying a Home in Aylesbury? Don't Let Asbestos Be a Hidden Cost

Moving into a new home in Aylesbury should be an exciting time, not a stressful one filled with hidden surprises. Many properties built or refurbished before 2000, common in areas like Aylesbury and the surrounding regions, might still contain asbestos. Finding asbestos after you've bought a property can lead to unexpected costs and safety concerns. Our dedicated Home Buyer Asbestos Survey helps you understand potential risks before you commit, giving you peace of mind and strong negotiation power.

Imagine buying your dream home only to discover that the garage roof, pipe lagging, or textured ceilings contain asbestos. This can become a costly and complex issue to manage. A pre-purchase asbestos survey is a vital part of your due diligence, just like a general building survey. We help identify the presence, type, and condition of any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). This crucial information allows you to factor in any potential removal or management costs into your budget or even renegotiate the asking price. Don't leave this to chance when making such a significant investment.

Our expert team provides a comprehensive Home Buyer Asbestos Survey designed specifically for residential properties. We carefully inspect accessible areas of the building, looking for common asbestos locations. This includes checking materials like:

  • Garage and shed roofs
  • Soffits and fascias
  • Textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls
  • Floor tiles and their backing
  • Flue pipes and boiler cupboards
  • Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) in various panels
    After our inspection, we provide you with a detailed, easy-to-understand report outlining any findings, their condition, and our recommendations. This report empowers you with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision about your potential new home.

When you choose Southern Asbestos, you're working with a local, experienced team that truly understands the unique challenges of properties across Aylesbury and the wider Buckinghamshire area.

What Happens After Your Home Buyer Asbestos Survey?

Once your survey is complete and you have our comprehensive report, you'll clearly understand any asbestos risks. If we find asbestos, we can also offer further essential services:

  • Asbestos Testing: If we suspect a material contains asbestos, we can take a safe sample and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for definitive analysis, giving you a certificate of the findings.
  • Safe Asbestos Removal: Should you decide to proceed with the purchase and require removal, our trained team handles non-licensed asbestos materials with the utmost care, following strict procedures to contain the area and safely remove items like garage roofs, floor tiles, or textured coatings.
  • Asbestos Encapsulation: In some cases, if the asbestos is in good condition, we can offer encapsulation – sealing the material to prevent fibre release – which can be a cost-effective management solution.
    We ensure your property is safe and compliant with UK regulations, managing the entire process for you.

Used Southern Asbestos to remove old Artex ceilings from our home in Maidenhead before a big renovation. The team was punctual, tidy, and took every precaution to ensure the area was safe. They left the site spotless. A very professional and trustworthy company.

Fantastic service. We had some old asbestos floor tiles that needed removing. The team was fast, friendly, and very knowledgeable. They handled all the waste disposal and provided the consignment note as promised. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
