Asbestos in Stevenage
Stevenage holds the distinction of being the first town designated under the New Towns Act of 1946, and it was built around Britain's first pedestrianised town centre. The bulk of its housing dates from the 1950s to 70s, when asbestos insulating board, cement soffits, textured coatings and garage roofs were standard specification. The historic Old Town high street adds a layer of earlier housing where artex and asbestos cement also turn up.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Stevenage properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Surveys in Stevenage: FAQs
My Stevenage new-town house dates from the 1960s — could it contain asbestos?
It very likely could. As the first of the post-war new towns, much of Stevenage was built in the 1950s and 60s when asbestos insulating board, cement soffits and textured coatings were routine. A survey before any renovation tells you exactly what your particular home holds.
Do you handle asbestos disposal as well as removal in Stevenage?
We do — all asbestos waste we remove across Stevenage is double-bagged, labelled and taken to a licensed disposal site, with a waste transfer note provided. You never have to deal with the waste or the paperwork yourself.
Which asbestos survey do I actually need?
If the building is staying as-is, a management survey satisfies your legal duty to manage. If you are refurbishing or demolishing any part of it, the law requires the more intrusive refurbishment & demolition survey before work begins. We will confirm the right one free of charge.
How long does an asbestos survey take?
A domestic management survey is often done in a single morning. Larger commercial premises or intrusive refurbishment surveys take longer, but we return UKAS-analysed results and the full report typically within 48 hours of the site visit.
