Why people call us in Southrope
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That’s why so many buildings in Hampshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
These come up again and again:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Community buildings and halls
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties

What else we do in Southrope
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Questions from Southrope
Do you cover Southrope from London?
We cover Southrope, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Southrope?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not normally sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Southrope, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
