Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
About our asbestos survey in Kingsmead
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Kingsmead. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Whether it’s demolition projects and rented homes between tenancies, we cover textured ceilings, water tanks and flues.
Around a village like Kingsmead, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Options to consider in Kingsmead
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Domestic and commercial work
- Clear advice on your options
- Covering London and the South East

Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The quantity or area
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The building’s size and layout
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Kingsmead
Do you cover Kingsmead and the area around Botley station?
Yes, we cover Kingsmead and the area towards Botley station, about 4 miles west.
How far is Kingsmead from London?
Kingsmead is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work in Kingsmead?
Yes, we do: our area includes Kingsmead and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Common reasons for surveys in Kingsmead
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Public and community buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
Schools such as Swanmore College of Technology are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
Before you book anyone
- What you’ll receive in writing
- If the price includes VAT
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- The scope, in writing
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Step by step
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, for the report. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Before we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the way to the work area
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
Ask for a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
