How asbestos survey works in North Fareham
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across North Fareham. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Whether it’s managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and rented homes due for maintenance, we deal with floor tiles, garage roofs and water tanks.
Around a village like North Fareham, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Once we are done:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before booking builders
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
The scope of an asbestos survey
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Weighing up your options
Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Questions from North Fareham
Do you survey schools and community buildings around North Fareham?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.

Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Hampshire can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition projects
If you manage lettings around Fareham station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
