Asbestos survey in Eastrop

Planning building work in Eastrop? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. From schools, halls and community buildings and buying a property built before 2000, we deal with floor tiles, water tanks and pipe lagging and more.

Homes in areas like Eastrop range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

How it works

For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.

Tell us what you need

DIY and asbestos

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Limits to be aware of

To be clear about the scope:

A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Eastrop questions

Do you work near Basingstoke station?

Yes. Basingstoke station is close to the centre of Eastrop, and we cover the whole area.

Could my house in Eastrop contain asbestos?

It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Eastrop can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

Do you work in Eastrop?

Yes. We cover Eastrop and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Do I need a test or a survey?

A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

Do you survey commercial buildings in Eastrop?

Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.

A closer look at the materials

Asbestos cement

Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.

Pipe lagging

Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.

What it costs

The cost depends on:

Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Which survey type fits your plans
The building’s size and layout
Parking and access charges

We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Photos that help

What to photograph:

An overall view
Damaged areas
Approximate dimensions
A clear close-up

Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

Responsibilities for owners

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Which option is right?

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, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
