Andover Down buildings and asbestos surveys
Andover Down is about 2 miles east of Andover, in Hampshire. Properties in Andover Down range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Andover Down is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.

Andover Down: your questions answered
Do you cover Andover Down from London?
We cover Andover Down, about 61 miles from central London.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Andover Down?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
