Asbestos survey in Stone Corner
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Stone Corner, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Whether it’s shops, offices and industrial units and buying a property built before 2000, we cover floor tiles, soffits and garage roofs and more.

What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once we are done:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Stone Corner
Do you cover small places like Stone Corner?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Stone Corner contain asbestos?
Any home in Stone Corner built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
The scope of an asbestos survey
What’s in and what’s out:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
