Asbestos survey in Cheriton
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Typical jobs include rented homes due for maintenance and schools, halls and community buildings, involving garage roofs, soffits and boiler cupboard panels.
Around a village like Cheriton, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Surveying buildings in Cheriton
Cheriton is about 7 miles east of Winchester, in Hampshire. In Cheriton, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses. We cover 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Cheriton to Southampton (14 miles away).
For a school like Cheriton Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Anywhere in SO24, we can help with an asbestos survey, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your property is on Lower Lamborough Lane, Raebarn Close and Markall Close or a nearby road, we can help. We also carry out surveys in Hinton Ampner (1 mile east), Beauworth (2 miles south-west), Bramdean (2 miles east), New Alresford (2 miles north) and Bishop's Sutton (3 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Basingstoke (15 miles north), Winchester (7 miles west), Havant (15 miles south-east), Eastleigh (10 miles south-west), Fareham (14 miles south) and Horndean (12 miles south-east).

- Pubs nearby include The Flowerpots Inn (within half a mile west)
Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Cheriton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under 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 know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
What we deal with in Cheriton
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
Typical jobs in Cheriton include:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Checks on rental property
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Workplaces built before 2000

What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How many samples are included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Looking after things afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Cheriton
Do you cover Cheriton from London?
Cheriton is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you survey a school or hall near Cheriton?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Is a survey needed before building work in Cheriton?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
How we work
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Tell us about parking and access
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Can I do it myself?
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
