Asbestos survey for Horton Heath properties
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Horton Heath, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is normally the starting point. Typical materials include soffits, garage roofs and textured ceilings, and people normally contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and community buildings and halls.
In places like Horton Heath, surveys generally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What’s included, and what is not
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- How many samples are needed
- Parking and access charges
- The size and age of the building
- The type of material and its condition
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- Where we could park
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why people choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Work done to the regulations
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Horton Heath
Do you work near Hedge End station?
Yes. Hedge End station is about 1.4 miles south of Horton Heath, and we cover both.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Horton Heath?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Horton Heath?
We do: Horton Heath is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Horton Heath?
That depends on what you are planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Why people call us in Horton Heath
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
These are some of the things we deal with in Horton Heath:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition and strip-out
- Schools, halls and community buildings
If you manage lettings around Hedge End station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
