Asbestos survey for Stonehill
The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs

About our asbestos survey in Stonehill

Common materials are pipe lagging, flues and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are demolition projects and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects.
Village surveys around Stonehill can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

For businesses and landlords in Stonehill
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How big the building is
- The size of the job
- The survey type
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An overall view
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Every job is quoted in writing. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Surveys around Stonehill
Stonehill is about 3 miles north of Woking, in Surrey. Wherever your property is in Stonehill, tell us the postcode and what you need. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey. Our area stretches from Stonehill to Guildford (about 8 miles away).
Schools such as Salesian School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. For rented homes close to Longcross station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
Anywhere in KT16, an asbestos survey is available, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Stonehill Road and Stonehill Crescent or a nearby road, we can help. We also carry out surveys in Ottershaw (1 mile east), Longcross (1 mile north-west), Mimbridge (2 miles south-west), Lyne (2 miles north-east) and Trumps Green (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also work in Guildford (8 miles south), Woking (3 miles south), Camberley (8 miles west), Epsom (13 miles east), Farnham (15 miles south-west) and Ewell (13 miles east).
A little further out are Chobham Museum (2.2 miles south-west) and The Peacocks (3.1 miles south). Within reach you’ll find Gracious Pond and St Ann's Lake.
What we deal with in Stonehill
The danger usually comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
If you have an older property in Stonehill, near Christ Church or anywhere else, survey the areas you are working on before work starts.
What your quote should include
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which areas and materials are covered
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- If the price includes VAT
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Getting ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Warn neighbours if needed

Helpful guides
After the job
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Weighing up your options
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you’re comparing like with like. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Condition assessed for every material
- Reports and results you can share
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
FAQs for Stonehill
Could my house in Stonehill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Stonehill can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Stonehill from London?
We cover Stonehill, about 22 miles from central London.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
