Asbestos survey in Stoke Charity
Asbestos survey near Stoke Charity
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in Stoke Charity. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. From the communal parts of blocks of flats and planned refurbishment work, we cover garage roofs, textured ceilings and soffits and more.
Around a village like Stoke Charity, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Duty holders and landlords in Stoke Charity
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Your options compared
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why people choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Practical recommendations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
Read our prices page or published price ranges.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- 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 in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
The process
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
