- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, generally bound in the bitumen.
What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Stanton St John were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Stanton St John, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Stanton St John
How far is Stanton St John from London?
We cover Stanton St John, about 50 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Stanton St John have asbestos?
Any home in Stanton St John built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not usually sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
