Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Covering London and the South East

How asbestos survey works in Townhill Park
Not every older building in Townhill Park contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. Common materials are water tanks, textured ceilings and flues, and typical jobs are workplaces built before 2000 and schools, halls and community buildings.
Townhill Park has a mix of older and newer homes, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from Townhill Park
Do you work near Swaythling station?
Yes. Swaythling station is about 1.1 miles north-west of Townhill Park, and we cover both.
Do you cover Townhill Park from London?
We cover Townhill Park, about 67 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is a survey needed before building work in Townhill Park?
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: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
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.
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.
What we deal with in Townhill Park
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
If you’re a landlord near Swaythling station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Before you book anyone
- What the report or result will contain
- Whether extra samples cost more
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- If the price includes VAT
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
The process
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Clear the way to the work area
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Move things out of the way carefully
Getting a price
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
