Asbestos survey near Redford
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, whichever fits your plans in Redford. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and water tanks, and people typically contact us about demolition and strip-out and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
In a village like Redford, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

The process
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

The scope of an asbestos survey
Before you book, note that:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Redford questions
Do you work near Liphook station?
Yes, we cover Redford and the area towards Liphook station, about 3.1 miles north.
Do older homes in Redford have asbestos?
If your home in Redford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
