Asbestos survey for Maybush properties
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. 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 demolition projects and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we cover floor tiles, soffits and boiler cupboard panels.
Maybush has a mix of older and newer homes, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What we deal with in Maybush
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition and strip-out
If you let flats or houses near Redbridge station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Maybush questions
Is asbestos common in Maybush homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Maybush can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Maybush and the area around Redbridge station?
Yes. Redbridge station is about 1.2 miles south-west of Maybush, and we cover both.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you work in Maybush?
Yes. We cover Maybush and the surrounding area as part of Southampton. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
How we price an asbestos survey
We base our quote on:
- The number of materials to sample
- The size of the job
- Access to the area
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
What’s included, and what is not
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
