How asbestos survey works in Abbotts Ann
Buying an older property in Abbotts Ann? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. From common parts of flats and HMOs and buying a property built before 2000, we cover flues, soffits and textured ceilings.
In a village like Abbotts Ann, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

If you manage lettings around Andover station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Don’ts
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it

Common questions in Abbotts Ann
Do you cover small places like Abbotts Ann?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Abbotts Ann homes?
If your home in Abbotts Ann was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Abbotts Ann?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Helpful guides
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
