Asbestos survey for Upper Clatford properties
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. From demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and purchases of older homes and buildings, we deal with flues, pipe lagging and water tanks.
Village houses like those in Upper Clatford have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Upper Clatford
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 1.3 miles north of Upper Clatford, and we cover both.
How far is Upper Clatford from London?
We cover Upper Clatford, about 64 miles from central London.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
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.
Why people call us in Upper Clatford
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
In older properties, we often see:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
A school such as Balksbury Junior School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.
What your quote should include
- Suitable insurance for the work
- If the price includes VAT
- Areas included and excluded

Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.

Options to consider in Upper Clatford
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
