Asbestos survey for South Wonston
Asbestos survey in South Wonston
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in South Wonston, a survey answers the asbestos question. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are the communal parts of blocks of flats and rented homes between tenancies.
Village surveys around South Wonston can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

South Wonston questions
Do older homes in South Wonston have asbestos?
Any home in South Wonston built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover South Wonston and the area around Winchester station?
Yes, we cover South Wonston and the area towards Winchester station, about 3.7 miles south.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats typically do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not generally take samples for analysis. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in South Wonston were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away on the day

After we’ve finished in South Wonston
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
Please don’t 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, rather than cleaning it up.
