Asbestos survey in Hurstbourne Priors
Any building in Hurstbourne Priors built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. We often deal with pipe lagging, garage roofs and water tanks, and typical jobs are demolition and strip-out and surveys requested by builders before work.
Around a village like Hurstbourne Priors, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from Hurstbourne Priors
Do you cover small places like Hurstbourne Priors?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes, we cover Hurstbourne Priors and the area towards Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 2.3 miles north-east.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not generally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How it works
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, so you can keep people away. We will tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards.

Options to consider in Hurstbourne Priors
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why people choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Practical recommendations
- Accredited laboratory results
- Across London and the South East

What’s included, and what isn’t
Before you book, note that:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
What we deal with in Hurstbourne Priors
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Rented homes between tenancies
