About our asbestos survey in Stony Green
Before you buy, build or let in Stony Green, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Whether it’s common parts of flats and HMOs and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we cover water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings and more.
Rural homes near Stony Green have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What we deal with in Stony Green
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Buckinghamshire can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Checks on rental property
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you have an older property in Stony Green, near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere else, survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.

Stony Green questions
How far is Stony Green from London?
We cover Stony Green, about 31 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Stony Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How can I get a price?
Just 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.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Looking after things afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Weighing up your options
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What you get
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Clear next steps

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
