Asbestos survey for Crofton properties
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Crofton, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about pre-work surveys for trades and public and community buildings, including soffits, pipe lagging and garage roofs.
Village surveys around Crofton can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

After we have finished in Crofton
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

How we price an asbestos survey
Prices vary with:
- How many different materials need sampling
- Travel and parking
- How many outbuildings are included
- How many samples are needed
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- The parking area
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
- An overall view
Send us the address in Crofton, a description and some photos: call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form, and we will reply with a quote.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Crofton must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
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.
Step by step
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Helpful guides
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Crofton
Do you work near Fareham station?
Yes. Fareham station is about 2.1 miles north of Crofton, and we cover both.
Do you cover Crofton from London?
We cover Crofton, about 67 miles from central London.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
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.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
