Asbestos survey in Water Stratford
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Water Stratford, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. From demolition projects and common parts of flats and HMOs, we deal with pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings and more.
Around a village like Water Stratford, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

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, which is why surveying first tends to save money. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Clear notes on any areas not reached

Where asbestos turns up
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
These come up again and again:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Community buildings and halls
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Surveys requested by builders before work
If you have an older property in Water Stratford, near Church of St Giles or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
What to look for in a quote
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What the report or result will contain
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- How many outbuildings are included
- The number of materials to sample
- The type of material and its condition
- The building’s size and layout
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Visible markings
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
For a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
