What else we do in Bursledon
Common reasons for surveys in Bursledon
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Community buildings and halls
- Rented homes due for maintenance
If you’re a landlord near Bursledon station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Questions from Bursledon
Can you survey a school or hall near Bursledon?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do older homes in Bursledon have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not typically take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
