About asbestos survey in Hampshire

An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Hampshire, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Typical materials include garage roofs, water tanks and pipe lagging, and people generally contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and rented homes between tenancies.

Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down.

Hampshire: surveys for every kind of building

Surveys across Hampshire are for homes before renovation, rented property, workplaces and buildings due for demolition, from Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to small villages. The New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Hampshire, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight. Around 143 places in Hampshire are close to the coast, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.

Basingstoke: For a school like King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. Altering an older house in Basingstoke, wherever it is? Get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.

What we do and don’t cover

Some limits to bear in mind:

A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

For landlords, agents and businesses

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

If you manage or own a block in Hampshire, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

Should you do it yourself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Options to consider in Hampshire

Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money.

What we deal with in Hampshire

The danger generally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

Demolition and strip-out
Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
Buying a property built before 2000

Hampshire: your questions answered

Who needs a management survey?

Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats normally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

What will I get after the survey?

Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.

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’ll advise.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Is a survey needed before building work in Hampshire?

HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.

Does a survey leave holes?

Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
