Step by step
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear the way to the work area
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Don’ts
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Options to consider in Ashurst Bridge
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Practical recommendations
- Condition assessed for every material
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Floor tiles and adhesive

Ashurst Bridge questions
Do older homes in Ashurst Bridge have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ashurst Bridge can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Ashurst Bridge and the area around Totton station?
Yes, we cover Ashurst Bridge and the area towards Totton station, about 1.5 miles east.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Does a survey leave holes?
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.
Materials, one by one
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.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Ashurst Bridge, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
