Asbestos survey for Hill Head
Questions from Hill Head
Do older homes in Hill Head have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Fareham station?
Yes. Fareham station is about 2.9 miles north-east of Hill Head, and we cover both.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically take samples for analysis. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Asbestos survey for Hill Head properties
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Hill Head, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about public and community buildings and the communal parts of blocks of flats, involving water tanks, flues and textured ceilings.
In a village like Hill Head, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Weighing up your options
Management or refurbishment and demolition? 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.

Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Travel and parking
- How much sampling is needed
- How many samples are needed
- The quantity or area
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A photo of the whole area
- An idea of size
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
For businesses and landlords in Hill Head
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How we work
If a material is damaged, we’ll say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
How to prepare
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Mention any damage before we arrive
How to get a quote
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
If you let flats or houses near Fareham station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
