How asbestos survey works in Chilworth Old Village
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. Typical materials include boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and people typically contact us about rented homes due for maintenance and schools, halls and community buildings.
Village properties around Chilworth Old Village often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What else we do in Chilworth Old Village
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Chilworth Old Village: your questions answered
Do you cover Chilworth Old Village from London?
Chilworth Old Village is about 68 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Chilworth Old Village homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chilworth Old Village may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Chilworth Old Village?
Yes, we do: Chilworth Old Village is within the area we cover in Southampton. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Will the survey damage the property?
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 asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there’s no single place to look.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
- Rented homes due for maintenance
Got an older property in Chilworth Old Village, close to Church of St Denys or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

Your options compared
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. 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. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
