Your options compared
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Asbestos survey in Warsash
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Warsash, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Typical jobs include workplaces built before 2000 and demolition projects, including water tanks, pipe lagging and soffits.
Homes in towns and villages like Warsash range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we deal with in Warsash
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition and strip-out
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Planned refurbishment work
A school such as Hook-With-Warsash Church of England Academy counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Looking after things afterwards

- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Warsash questions
Do older homes in Warsash have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you survey a school or hall near Warsash?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
