Asbestos survey in Egypt
Asbestos survey in Egypt
Buying an older property in Egypt? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. We often deal with textured ceilings, pipe lagging and water tanks, and people usually contact us about demolition and strip-out and purchases of older homes and buildings.
Rural homes near Egypt have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What affects the price in Egypt
Our quotes take into account:
- Access to the area
- The quantity or area
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The building’s size and layout
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Damaged areas
- A photo of the whole area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Surveys around Egypt
Egypt is about 7 miles north of Winchester, in Hampshire. Anywhere in Egypt, just send the postcode. We cover all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Egypt to Southampton (17 miles away).
For rented homes close to Micheldever station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
For surveys in SO21, just send the postcode and a few photos. From Alexandria Road and Stockbridge Road East or anywhere nearby, the process is the same. Neighbouring places we cover include Sutton Scotney (1 mile south-west), Hunton (1 mile east), Stoke Charity (1 mile south-east), Barton Stacey (2 miles north-west) and South Wonston (3 miles south).

What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Questions from Egypt
Do you cover Egypt and the area around Micheldever station?
Yes. Micheldever station is about 3.5 miles north-east of Egypt, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Egypt have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
The process
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Warn neighbours if needed
Getting a price

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Egypt, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
How we work in Egypt
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- The right survey for your plans
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
Take a look at our prices page and published price ranges.
Where asbestos turns up
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Community buildings and halls
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Got an older property in Egypt, close to Ebenezer Methodist Chapel or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
