Asbestos survey for Middleton Stoney
Asbestos survey for Middleton Stoney properties
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. Whether it’s shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and shops, offices and industrial units, we cover floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks and more.
Village properties around Middleton Stoney often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

How we price an asbestos survey
When we quote, we look at:
- How much sampling is needed
- The type of survey you need
- The size and age of the building
- The size of the job
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Damaged areas
- Street parking nearby
- A rough size or measurement
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Typical surveys in Middleton Stoney
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Public and community buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition projects
- Checks on rental property
For rented homes close to Heyford station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
What your quote should include
- What you will receive in writing
- How many samples are included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
Which option is right?
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
What you get
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Across London and the South East

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.

Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.

Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
