Asbestos survey for Keynor Estate properties
Our surveys in Keynor Estate cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Common materials are garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and soffits, and people generally contact us about shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and planned refurbishment work.
Village houses like those in Keynor Estate have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.

- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts

Keynor Estate questions
Do you work near Chichester station?
Yes, we cover Keynor Estate and the area towards Chichester station, about 4.4 miles north.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Keynor Estate?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How we price an asbestos survey
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many outbuildings are included
- Travel and parking
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.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The parking area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The access route
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
