Asbestos survey in Hamble-le-Rice
Asbestos survey near Hamble-le-Rice
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Hamble-le-Rice, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. From common parts of flats and HMOs and public and community buildings, we deal with soffits, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels and more.
In Hamble-le-Rice, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.

- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Common questions in Hamble-le-Rice
How far is Hamble-le-Rice from London?
We cover Hamble-le-Rice, about 69 miles from central London.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Hamble-le-Rice?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats typically do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Do you work in Hamble-le-Rice?
Yes, we do: our area includes Hamble-le-Rice and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for 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.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
