Asbestos survey in Stroud
About our asbestos survey in Stroud
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Stroud, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and purchases of older homes and buildings, including flues, soffits and pipe lagging.
Around a village like Stroud, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your options compared
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
After we have finished in Stroud
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After we have finished:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Where asbestos turns up
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition projects
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
If you let flats or houses near Petersfield station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

FAQs for Stroud
Do you come out to small villages like Stroud?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Stroud?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
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.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Duty holders and landlords in Stroud
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Stroud must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- How many different materials need sampling
- The building’s size and layout
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many outbuildings are included
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
