Asbestos survey near Oakley
Asbestos survey near Oakley
Before you buy, build or let in Oakley, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Whether it’s common parts of flats and HMOs and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we cover textured ceilings, flues and pipe lagging and more.
A survey in Oakley typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Why people call us in Oakley
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:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
If you manage lettings around Overton station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Oakley
Can you survey a school or hall near Oakley?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Oakley from London?
We cover Oakley, about 50 miles from central London.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Oakley, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Step by step
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Dig out previous surveys

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Options to consider in Oakley
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
