Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
Where asbestos turns up
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
If you’re a landlord near Stonegate station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

What else we do in Punnett's Town
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Punnett's Town
Could my house in Punnett's Town contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Punnett's Town can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Stonegate station?
Yes. Stonegate station is about 4.7 miles north-east of Punnett's Town, and we cover both.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
After the job
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
What affects the price in Punnett's Town

- The number of samples or the size of the building

- The type of material and its condition
- The survey type
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
