Asbestos survey near St Cross
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. We often deal with floor tiles, flues and soffits, and typical jobs are pre-purchase checks on older properties and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
A survey in St Cross typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Before booking, note that:

- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use

Where asbestos turns up
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
If you are a landlord near Winchester station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

What else we do in St Cross
Surveying buildings in St Cross
St Cross is about 1 mile south of Winchester, in Hampshire. St Cross is within our Hampshire area, for surveys of every size. We work in 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from St Cross to Southampton (about 10 miles away).
If you have an older property in St Cross, near St. Cross Church or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. Non-domestic buildings, St Faith's Church of England Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
This part of Hampshire takes in SO22 and SO23, and your survey can be anywhere in it. Whether your property is on Edgar Road, Hubert Road and Grange Road or a nearby road, the process is the same. Close by, we cover Badger Farm (1 mile west), Stanmore (1 mile north-west), Winchester (1 mile north), Bar End (1 mile east) and Highcliffe (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also work in Eastleigh (6 miles south), Fareham (15 miles south), Andover (13 miles north-west), Totton (12 miles south-west), Chandler's Ford (5 miles south-west) and Hedge End (9 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include The Gurkha Museum (0.6 miles north-east) and Royal Hampshire County Hospital (0.9 miles north). Within reach you will find Hockley Meadows and Twyford Down.
- Nearby schools include Kings' School (1.2 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include The Bell Inn Public House (under half a mile south)
For businesses and landlords in St Cross
For managing agents and freeholders in St Cross, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in St Cross must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
After the job
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
The process
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, which goes into the report. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The lab analyses the samples
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Getting ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Common questions in St Cross
Do you survey schools and community buildings around St Cross?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work near Winchester station?
Yes, we cover St Cross and the area towards Winchester station, about 1.3 miles north.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is a survey needed before building work in St Cross?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Options to consider in St Cross
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
