Asbestos survey for Stone properties
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. We often deal with textured ceilings, boiler cupboard panels and soffits, and typical jobs are community buildings and halls and pre-purchase checks on older properties.
Village houses like those in Stone have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Why people call us in Stone
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.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Checks on rental property
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
Got an older property in Stone, close to St Francis or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report or result will contain

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, generally well bound in.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The building’s size and layout
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A photo of the whole area
- How we’d reach it
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
To get a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
The process
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Getting ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Your options compared
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

FAQs for Stone
Is asbestos common in Stone homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Stone may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Stone, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
