Asbestos help in Stubbings
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How asbestos survey works in Stubbings
If a building in Stubbings dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. We often deal with garage roofs, textured ceilings and water tanks, and people usually contact us about public and community buildings and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
Around a village like Stubbings, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

Stubbings: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Stubbings?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Stubbings from London?
We cover Stubbings, about 29 miles from central London.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
The process
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report with results and recommendations
How to prepare
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

What it costs
The cost depends on:

- How many samples are needed
- The size and age of the building
- How many outbuildings are included
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- How we’d reach it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Cracks or breaks
You’ll get a written quote. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details.
After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
