Asbestos survey for Stonesfield
Asbestos survey near Stonesfield
Any building in Stonesfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Common materials are soffits, pipe lagging and garage roofs, and typical jobs are managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and demolition projects.
Village properties around Stonesfield often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
For businesses and landlords in Stonesfield
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Practical recommendations
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Every main survey type
See our prices page or our cost guide.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- How easy it is to reach
- The size of the job
- The type of survey you need
- What the material is and its state
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A clear close-up
- The access route
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
For a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

These are some of the things we deal with in Stonesfield:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Buying a property built before 2000
Planning work on an older building in Stonesfield, whether near Church of St James the Great or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Before you book anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The report contents
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Stonesfield questions
Do you cover Stonesfield and the area around Finstock station?
Yes. Finstock station is about 1.7 miles west of Stonesfield, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Stonesfield have asbestos?
If your home in Stonesfield was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Do you work in Stonesfield?
Yes. We cover Stonesfield and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
