Asbestos survey for Stroude properties
What you’re planning in Stroude decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll recommend the right one. From workplaces built before 2000 and schools, halls and community buildings, we cover boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and water tanks.
Village houses like those in Stroude have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
For businesses and landlords in Stroude
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Helpful guides
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Stroude
Do you cover small places like Stroude?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Stroude have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Stroude may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
The scope of an asbestos survey
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before booking builders
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
What affects the price in Stroude
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
- How easy it is to reach
- The building’s size and layout
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- Damaged areas
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Labels, if any
You’ll get a written quote. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
