How asbestos survey works in Ampfield
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Ampfield, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Whether it’s refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we cover soffits, textured ceilings and garage roofs.
Rural homes near Ampfield have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Ampfield questions
Do older homes in Ampfield have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ampfield can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ampfield from London?
We cover Ampfield, about 67 miles from central London.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Common materials
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Ensure we can get to the area

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After we have finished:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before you book builders
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- What the material is and its state
- How easy it is to reach
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Which survey type fits your plans
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Where we could park
- An idea of size
- An overall view
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
