Asbestos survey for Gosport
About our asbestos survey in Gosport
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. Typical jobs include demolition projects and pre-work surveys for trades, involving soffits, floor tiles and garage roofs.
Rural homes near Gosport have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

After we’ve finished in Gosport
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Why people call us in Gosport
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings

Questions from Gosport
Do older homes in Gosport have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Gosport may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Gosport from London?
We cover Gosport, about 67 miles from central London.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

What we do and don’t cover
Before booking, note that:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
Which option is right?
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- The right survey for your plans
- Work done to the regulations
Read our prices page or our cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
