How it works
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there’s no confusion.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged

How asbestos survey works in Stoke
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in Stoke. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. We often deal with water tanks, garage roofs and pipe lagging, and people usually contact us about surveys requested by builders before work and planned refurbishment work.
Village houses like those in Stoke have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
What we deal with in Stoke
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Typical jobs in Stoke include:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Public and community buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
If you are a landlord near Warblington station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Options to consider in Stoke
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- Recommendations in plain English
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
Read how we quote or our cost guide.
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Keeping things safe:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- How much sampling is needed
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How many outbuildings are included
- The building’s size and layout
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Where we could park

FAQs for Stoke
Do you come out to small villages like Stoke?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Stoke have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you work in Stoke?
Yes, Stoke is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
