Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- The size of the job
- The survey scope
- Travel and parking
- How many outbuildings are included
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Street parking nearby
- Labels, if any
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Asbestos survey near Elvetham
For landlords and managing agents in Elvetham, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. People often contact us about pre-purchase checks on older properties and rented homes between tenancies, involving flues, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels.
In a village like Elvetham, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What it might be made of
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.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Where asbestos turns up
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
If you’re a landlord near Fleet station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Before you book anyone
- How many samples are included
- The report contents
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Which areas and materials are covered
What’s included, and what is not
Before you book, note that:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Your options compared
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
