Asbestos survey in Titchfield
Titchfield: your questions answered
Do you work near Fareham station?
Yes. Fareham station is about 2 miles east of Titchfield, and we cover both.
Do you cover Titchfield from London?
Titchfield is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Asbestos survey near Titchfield
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Typical jobs include surveys requested by builders before work and common parts of flats and HMOs, including textured ceilings, floor tiles and flues.
Village surveys around Titchfield can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.

Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An overall view

Step by step
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Titchfield
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Titchfield buildings and asbestos surveys
Titchfield is about 2 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Titchfield is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Titchfield is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We work right across the region, from Titchfield to Southampton (about 8 miles away).
If you are a landlord near Fareham station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance. A school such as Titchfield Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. Titchfield is within about 4 miles of the coast, and coastal properties often have porches, canopies and outbuildings that a survey can include.

Why people call us in Titchfield
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition and strip-out
If you have an older property in Titchfield, near Church of St Peter or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Questions to ask before booking
- The scope, in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- If the price includes VAT
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Options to consider in Titchfield
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
