After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Asbestos survey near Longstock
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Longstock, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. From public and community buildings and rented homes between tenancies, we cover boiler cupboard panels, flues and textured ceilings.
In a village like Longstock, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Your options compared
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Condition assessed for every material
- Houses, flats and business premises

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in Longstock, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Common questions in Longstock
Do you come out to small villages like Longstock?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Longstock have asbestos?
Any home in Longstock built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

- How much sampling is needed
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include

- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Why people call us in Longstock
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Public and community buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
For a school like Test Valley School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
