About our asbestos survey in Greywell
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. From shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and purchases of older homes and buildings, we deal with soffits, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings.
Village houses like those in Greywell have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What else we do in Greywell
Can I do it myself?
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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Common reasons for surveys in Greywell
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in Hampshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition and strip-out
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Rented homes between tenancies
A school such as Robert May's School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is generally where that starts.

What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Clear next steps
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Greywell
Could my house in Greywell contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Greywell may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Greywell?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Greywell?
Yes, Greywell is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Greywell, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
