About our asbestos survey in Mount Pleasant
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Mount Pleasant. We often deal with flues, soffits and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about pre-work surveys for trades and public and community buildings.
Village surveys around Mount Pleasant can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Options to consider in Mount Pleasant
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why people choose us
- Records for your files
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
Read how we price jobs or our cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- The size and age of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- How much there is
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
- Damaged areas
Send us the address in Mount Pleasant, a description and some photos: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749, and we’ll reply with a quote.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Before booking, note that:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What we deal with in Mount Pleasant
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That is why so many buildings in Hampshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Checks on rental property
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you manage lettings around Sway station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Questions to ask before booking
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What you’ll receive in writing
- VAT, clearly stated

For businesses and landlords in Mount Pleasant
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Mount Pleasant must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Mount Pleasant questions
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Mount Pleasant?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Mount Pleasant?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
