Asbestos survey near Lower Green
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with, in plain English. Whether it’s pre-work surveys for trades and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we deal with pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs and more.
Rural homes near Lower Green have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.

What else we do in Lower Green
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Lower Green questions
Do older homes in Lower Green have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Lower Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you work in Lower Green?
Yes, Lower Green is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
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.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- Travel and parking
- The size and age of the building
- The quantity or area
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The parking area
- A picture of the whole area
- A rough size or measurement
- Damaged areas

Common reasons for surveys in Lower Green
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That’s why so many buildings in Hampshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Checks on rental property
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
Planning work on an older building in Lower Green, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
What to look for in a quote
- How many samples are included
- If the price includes VAT
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Lower Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Work done to the regulations

Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
