Asbestos survey near Chilbolton
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Chilbolton, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. From managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and pre-purchase checks on older properties, we cover flues, floor tiles and textured ceilings and more.
In a village like Chilbolton, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The building’s size and layout
- How many outbuildings are included
- Access to the area

Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

FAQs for Chilbolton
How far is Chilbolton from London?
Chilbolton is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes, we cover Chilbolton and the area towards Andover station, about 4.7 miles north-west.
Do you cover Chilbolton?
Yes. We cover Chilbolton and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you are planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
After we have finished in Chilbolton
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Your options compared
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Clear next steps
- Covering London and the South East
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Houses, flats and business premises

The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
