Asbestos survey for Staplers properties
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. People often contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, involving flues, soffits and water tanks.
In places like Staplers, surveys normally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Common reasons for surveys in Staplers
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
Planning work on an older building in Staplers, whether near St Paul's Church or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

Staplers questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Staplers?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos common in Staplers homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Staplers can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not generally sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.

Duty holders and landlords in Staplers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
