About our asbestos survey in Stick Hill
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 will tell you which suits your plans in Stick Hill. Whether it’s shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and rented homes between tenancies, we cover boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and soffits and more.
In a village like Stick Hill, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Stick Hill from London?
We cover Stick Hill, about 24 miles from central London.
Do you cover Stick Hill?
Yes, Stick Hill is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.

Choosing the right option
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys

Questions to ask before you book
- What you will receive in writing
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether VAT is included
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- 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.
Materials we see
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How it works
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Getting ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
