New town and garden city housing
Stevenage, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and Hemel Hempstead expanded rapidly through the peak asbestos period. In housing of that age the recurring materials are ceiling and wall coatings, board panels around heating and services, thermoplastic floor tiles with bitumen adhesive, and cement roofing to garages and stores.
Where a landlord or housing provider holds many similar units, surveying in batches produces consistent registers and lower unit costs than one-off instructions.
