How we price an asbestos survey

The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:

Material and condition
Access: height, lofts, steps and space
The quantity or area
The number of materials to sample

Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Photos that help

To help us quote quickly, send:

A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
How we’d reach it
Cracks or breaks

How asbestos survey works in Stoneleigh

Not every older building in Stoneleigh contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. We often deal with soffits, floor tiles and boiler cupboard panels, and people usually contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and surveys requested by builders before work.

Homes in areas like Stoneleigh range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Should you do it yourself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

The process

Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.

Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
We carry out the survey on site
Samples go to the laboratory
You receive a clear written report with recommendations

Getting ready

Clear access to the area, loft or garage
Let neighbours know if the work is near them
Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Buying a house with asbestos: what you need to know

What happens next

Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.

Staying safe afterwards:

In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Survey first, then book the trades
Keep pets and children out of the way on the day

Don’ts

Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.

Limits to be aware of

Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:

Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Common materials

Soffits and porch canopies
Boiler cupboards and panels
Artex and textured coatings
Pipe lagging
Roofing felt and bitumen
Water tanks and flues
Floor tiles and adhesive
Cement sheets and cladding
Garage and shed roofs
Ceiling tiles

Choosing the right option

Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

What we deal with in Stoneleigh

Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.

In older properties, we often see:

Pre-purchase checks on older properties
Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
Rented homes due for maintenance
Shops, offices and industrial units

Halls and leisure centres near Stoneleigh fall into the non-domestic category, so their owners must manage any asbestos.

Asbestos surveys in Stoneleigh: local notes

Properties in Stoneleigh range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Stoneleigh is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our area stretches from Stoneleigh to London (about 11 miles away).

If you let flats or houses near Stoneleigh station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs. Schools such as Auriol Junior School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.

Responsibilities for owners

For managing agents and freeholders in Stoneleigh, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Stoneleigh

Is asbestos common in Stoneleigh homes?

If your home in Stoneleigh was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Can you survey a school or hall near Stoneleigh?

Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.

What if my house is newer?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Do you give written quotes?

Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.

What does licensed work mean?

Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?

For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
