Asbestos survey for Stanmore
Asbestos survey in Stanmore
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Stanmore. From shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, soffits and flues.
A survey in Stanmore typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

For businesses and landlords in Stanmore
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you manage or own a block in Stanmore, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Choosing the right option
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
After we have finished in Stanmore
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Staying safe afterwards:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Questions from Stanmore
Can you survey a school or hall near Stanmore?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work near Winchester station?
Yes, we cover Stanmore and the area towards Winchester station, about 1.2 miles north-east.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Common reasons for surveys in Stanmore
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That’s why so many buildings in Hampshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
In older properties, we often see:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition and strip-out
Altering an older house in Stanmore, wherever it is? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- The scope, in writing
- If the price includes VAT
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
