FAQs for Stone Cross
Do you cover Stone Cross and the area around Ham Street station?
Yes, we cover Stone Cross and the area towards Ham Street station, about 2.3 miles south-west.
Do you cover small places like Stone Cross?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How asbestos survey works in Stone Cross
Not every older building in Stone Cross contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. Typical jobs include shops, offices and industrial units and common parts of flats and HMOs, including boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Village properties around Stone Cross often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you manage or own a block in Stone Cross, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Choosing the right option
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition and strip-out

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.

Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
