Asbestos survey for Funtley properties
Any building in Funtley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. From managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and public and community buildings, we cover flues, textured ceilings and garage roofs.
Village properties around Funtley often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
- How much there is
- The type of material and its condition
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
For a quick quote, include:
- The parking area
- A clear close-up
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A rough size or measurement
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Which option is right?
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Practical recommendations
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Accredited laboratory results
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Funtley
Do you cover Funtley and the area around Fareham station?
Yes, we cover Funtley and the area towards Fareham station, about 1.4 miles south-east.
Do you cover Funtley from London?
We cover Funtley, about 65 miles from central London.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Common reasons for surveys in Funtley
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Demolition projects
- Checks on rental property
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
Non-domestic buildings, Orchard Lea Infant School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing

What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
After we have finished:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
