Asbestos survey for Waterlooville
Asbestos survey in Waterlooville
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Waterlooville must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. We often deal with floor tiles, soffits and garage roofs, and typical jobs are workplaces built before 2000 and pre-purchase checks on older properties.
Town-centre shops and offices in Waterlooville are non-domestic premises with a duty to manage asbestos, and homes nearby need surveys before work. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Weighing up your options
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

FAQs for Waterlooville
Do you work near Bedhampton station?
Yes. Bedhampton station is about 2.6 miles south-east of Waterlooville, and we cover both.
Could my house in Waterlooville contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.

Helpful guides
How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Travel and parking
- The survey scope
- The survey type
- The building’s size and layout
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.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Where we could park
- A clear close-up
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Cracks or breaks
Every job is quoted in writing. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
