Your questions about an asbestos survey in Anna Valley
Is asbestos common in Anna Valley homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Anna Valley and the area around Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 1.4 miles north-east of Anna Valley, and we cover both.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Anna Valley?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.

Why people call us in Anna Valley
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Public and community buildings
- Demolition and strip-out
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Surveys requested by builders before work
Schools such as Balksbury Junior School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
