Asbestos survey in Upton Grey
If a building in Upton Grey dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. From pre-purchase checks on older properties and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we cover water tanks, floor tiles and flues.
Village properties around Upton Grey often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that is needed.

Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Some practical advice:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- How big the building is
- The survey type
- How many outbuildings are included
- How much sampling is needed
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Choosing the right option
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Upton Grey
Do you come out to small villages like Upton Grey?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Upton Grey and the area around Hook station?
Yes. Hook station is about 4 miles north-east of Upton Grey, and we cover both.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.

What’s included, and what isn’t
Worth knowing before you book:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
