About our asbestos survey in Gundleton
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, in plain English. From buying a property built before 2000 and pre-work surveys for trades, we deal with flues, soffits and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Village surveys around Gundleton 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.

Gundleton buildings and asbestos surveys
Gundleton is about 7 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Properties in Gundleton range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Gundleton to Southampton (17 miles away).
For a school like Perins School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
Wherever your property is in SO24, we can help with an asbestos survey, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Goscombs Lane and Bighton Lane; we cover every one. Other places close to Gundleton we cover include Bishop's Sutton (1 mile south-west), New Alresford (2 miles west), Bramdean (3 miles south), Hinton Ampner (4 miles south) and Cheriton (4 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (12 miles north), Winchester (9 miles west), Eastleigh (13 miles south-west), Horndean (14 miles south), Chandler's Ford (14 miles south-west) and Alton (7 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Barton Castle (2.9 miles north). Within reach you’ll find Shutts Copse and Red Hill.
- Local pubs include Three Horseshoes Public House (0.7 miles north-west)
What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Typical surveys in Gundleton

These come up again and again:
- Checks on rental property
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms

What it might be made of
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Gundleton questions
Is asbestos common in Gundleton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Gundleton can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey a school or hall near Gundleton?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Gundleton?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
For businesses and landlords in Gundleton
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
