Fawley buildings and asbestos surveys
Fawley is about 3 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. We work across Fawley and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We work in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 7 miles away.
Altering an older house in Fawley, wherever it is? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. Schools such as Fawley Infant School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts. Fawley is within about 5 miles of the New Forest National Park, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey. The sea is within about 3 miles of Fawley; porch canopies and soffits on coastal homes can be included in a survey.
This part of Hampshire takes in SO45, and your survey can be anywhere in it. Local streets include The Square, Whites Lane and Forge Lane; we cover every one. Neighbouring places we cover include Stonehills (1 mile south-east), Ashlett (1 mile east), Sprat's Down (1 mile south), Blackfield (1 mile south-west) and Calshot (1 mile south-east). We also cover nearby towns such as Gosport (9 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (7 miles east), Totton (9 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (11 miles north) and Hedge End (6 miles north).

Asbestos survey for Fawley properties
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Fawley, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. We often deal with textured ceilings, garage roofs and flues, and typical jobs are contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and buying a property built before 2000.
Village surveys around Fawley can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before booking:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
The process
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing

- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Preparing for the visit

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
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. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Why people call us in Fawley

These come up again and again:

- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Buying a property built before 2000

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Fawley
Can you survey a school or hall near Fawley?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Is asbestos common in Fawley homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Fawley can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is a survey needed before building work in Fawley?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The type of material and its condition
- How much sampling is needed
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The size of the job
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The parking area
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
After the job
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
