Choosing the right option
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Penton Grafton: your questions answered
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 1.9 miles south-east of Penton Grafton, and we cover both.
How far is Penton Grafton from London?
We cover Penton Grafton, about 65 miles from central London.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
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.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Penton Grafton?
That depends on what you are planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
How we price an asbestos survey
Every quote reflects:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
- How big the building is
- How many different materials need sampling
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Damaged areas
- A picture of the whole area
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What we deal with in Penton Grafton
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
In older properties, we often see:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Planned refurbishment work
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Demolition and strip-out
Planning work on an older building in Penton Grafton, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
What to avoid
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
