About our asbestos survey in South Harting
Plenty of older buildings, in South Harting as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in, so you can plan sensibly. Whether it’s contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and pre-purchase checks on older properties, we cover pipe lagging, water tanks and textured ceilings.
Around a village like South Harting, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

After we’ve finished in South Harting
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
South Harting buildings and asbestos surveys
South Harting is about 3 miles south-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. In South Harting, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses about all kinds of jobs. We cover 683 places across Hampshire. Our area stretches from South Harting to Guildford (23 miles away).
Schools such as Harting CofE Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. If you are a landlord near Petersfield station, a survey gives contractors the information they need. South Harting is within about a mile of the South Downs National Park, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in South Harting
Is asbestos common in South Harting homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings typically starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
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 typically cheaper in the end. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The number of materials to sample
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- How big the building is
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
