Asbestos survey for Stanton Harcourt
How asbestos survey works in Stanton Harcourt
If a building in Stanton Harcourt dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. People often contact us about rented homes between tenancies and schools, halls and community buildings, involving floor tiles, garage roofs and flues.
Rural homes near Stanton Harcourt have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Doing it yourself?

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Stanton Harcourt: your questions answered
Do older homes in Stanton Harcourt have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Stanton Harcourt?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Stanton Harcourt?
Yes, Stanton Harcourt is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is a survey needed before building work in Stanton Harcourt?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Stanton Harcourt must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
Getting a price
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- How many samples are needed
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
When you send photos, these help most:
- Labels, if any
- A clear close-up
- An idea of size
- Cracks or breaks
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
