Asbestos survey in Lovedean
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The size of the job
- Parking and access charges
- How many different materials need sampling
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A picture of the whole area
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Asbestos survey near Lovedean
The type of survey you need in Lovedean depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll recommend the right one. We often deal with water tanks, floor tiles and garage roofs, and people generally contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
Village surveys around Lovedean can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Lovedean, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The lab analyses the samples
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Warn neighbours if needed
Getting a price
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.

Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues

Common reasons for surveys in Lovedean
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition projects
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
If you let flats or houses near Rowlands Castle station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically well bound in.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
