Asbestos survey near Stubbington
Before you buy, build or let in Stubbington, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Whether it’s demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and rented homes between tenancies, we deal with pipe lagging, flues and floor tiles.
Stubbington has a mix of older and newer homes, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What we deal with in Stubbington
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
These are some of the things we deal with in Stubbington:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Workplaces built before 2000
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition and strip-out
If you let flats or houses near Fareham station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether extra samples cost more
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Areas included and excluded
What affects the price in Stubbington
What changes the cost:
- The size of the job
- How many outbuildings are included
- The building’s size and layout
- How many different materials need sampling
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
- An overall view

Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Clear advice on your options

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

Planning work on an older building in Stubbington, whether near Holy Rood Church or elsewhere? Survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.

FAQs for Stubbington
Do you cover Stubbington from London?
Stubbington is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Fareham station?
Yes, we cover Stubbington and the area towards Fareham station, about 2.3 miles north-east.
Is a survey needed before building work in Stubbington?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
