Asbestos survey for Ellisfield
Asbestos survey near Ellisfield
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Ellisfield. Common materials are soffits, flues and garage roofs, and people typically contact us about buying a property built before 2000 and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
Rural homes near Ellisfield 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.

Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Common questions in Ellisfield
Do you come out to small villages like Ellisfield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Ellisfield contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ellisfield may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ellisfield?
Yes. We cover Ellisfield and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Keep children and pets away on the day

What else we do in Ellisfield
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Ellisfield were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Ellisfield, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Why people call us in Ellisfield
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.

- Demolition projects
- Public and community buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
