Asbestos help in Martyr Worthy
Where asbestos turns up
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.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Demolition projects
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you manage lettings around Winchester station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Comparing quotes
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- If the price includes VAT

Questions from Martyr Worthy
Is asbestos common in Martyr Worthy homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Martyr Worthy can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Martyr Worthy from London?
Martyr Worthy is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Avoid these
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
What affects the price in Martyr Worthy
Our quotes take into account:
- What the material is and its state
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The building’s size and layout
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
