Your options compared
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. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why us?
- Recommendations in plain English
- Every main survey type
- Condition assessed for every material
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed

Where asbestos turns up
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Hampshire can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Demolition projects
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Public and community buildings

Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

What else we do in Ropley Dean
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before you book builders
Don’ts
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Ropley Dean
Do you cover small places like Ropley Dean?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Ropley Dean contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ropley Dean may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
How it works
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
