Stanwell questions
Is asbestos common in Stanwell homes?
Any home in Stanwell built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Stanwell and the area around Ashford Surrey station?
Yes, we cover Stanwell and the area towards Ashford Surrey station, about 1.2 miles south.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Asbestos survey in Stanwell
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Typical jobs include rented homes due for maintenance and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, including garage roofs, textured ceilings and pipe lagging.
In areas like Stanwell, surveys typically cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The type of material and its condition
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The quantity or area
- How easy it is to reach
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Damaged areas
- Visible markings
- The parking area
- A close-up from a safe distance
Include any existing survey or test when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What it might be made of
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Where asbestos turns up
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Surrey can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Public and community buildings
- Demolition projects
- Planned refurbishment work
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
If you manage lettings around Ashford Surrey station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Comparing quotes
- What the report or result will contain
- Areas included and excluded
- If the price includes VAT
- Suitable insurance for the work
What happens
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there’s no confusion.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
How to prepare
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

After we have finished in Stanwell
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
