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 normally needed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Asbestos survey near Stone
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in Stone. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Whether it’s rented homes between tenancies and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we cover floor tiles, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Stone has a mix of older and newer homes, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

After we have finished in Stone
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Stone, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Step by step
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, before going to an accredited laboratory. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
How to prepare
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Warn neighbours if needed
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

Choosing the right option
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. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
