- How many outbuildings are included
- The survey scope
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
For a quick quote, include:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is

Which option is right?
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
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.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
To avoid problems in future:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- 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.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Stonymarsh
Do you come out to small villages like Stonymarsh?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Stonymarsh and the area around Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes. Mottisfont & Dunbridge station is about 1.1 miles west of Stonymarsh, and we cover both.
Is a survey needed before building work in Stonymarsh?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
