Asbestos survey for Peel Common
What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Asbestos survey in Peel Common
About to refurbish in Peel Common? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Whether it’s shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and checks on rental property, we deal with soffits, pipe lagging and textured ceilings and more.
Village properties around Peel Common often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What we deal with in Peel Common
Materials age: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Schools, halls and community buildings
For rented homes close to Fareham station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
Questions to ask before booking
- The report contents
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
Choosing the right option
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Accredited laboratory results

For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If your business premises in Peel Common were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Peel Common: your questions answered
Do you cover Peel Common and the area around Fareham station?
Yes. Fareham station is about 2 miles north of Peel Common, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Peel Common have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Peel Common can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
To avoid problems in future:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
How it works
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, for the report. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Helpful guides
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Material and condition
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- An overall view
- Labels, if any
- A clear close-up
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
