If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Asbestos survey in Itchen Stoke
Plenty of older buildings, in Itchen Stoke as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours. Typical jobs include rented homes between tenancies and pre-purchase checks on older properties, including textured ceilings, garage roofs and pipe lagging.
In a village like Itchen Stoke, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Records for your files

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Itchen Stoke
Do you cover small places like Itchen Stoke?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you survey a school or hall near Itchen Stoke?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
After we’ve finished in Itchen Stoke
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
To avoid problems in future:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
