Asbestos survey for Well properties
Plenty of older buildings, in Well as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Whether it’s pre-work surveys for trades and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we deal with pipe lagging, soffits and flues.
Around a village like Well, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- What the material is and its state
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of survey you need
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:

Surveys around Well
Well is about 5 miles west of Farnham, in Hampshire. Homes, landlords and businesses in Well contact us for surveys. We work in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 15 miles away.
Non-domestic buildings, Lord Wandsworth College among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. Got an older property in Well, close to Lord Wandsworth College Chapel or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
This part of Hampshire takes in RG29, and your survey can be anywhere in it. If your property is just outside Well, we also cover Long Sutton (1 mile west), South Warnborough (2 miles west), Odiham (3 miles north), Broad Oak (3 miles north) and North Warnborough (4 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also work in Basingstoke (9 miles north-west), Farnborough (8 miles north-east), Fleet (5 miles north-east), Aldershot (7 miles east), Alton (5 miles south-west) and Petersfield (14 miles south).
A little further out are Fleet Community Hospital (5.8 miles north-east) and Barley Pound (2.2 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Holybourne Hill and Dogmersfield Lake.
After we’ve finished in Well
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Well questions
Do you cover Well and the area around Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, we cover Well and the area towards Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 2.9 miles south-east.
Do you come out to small villages like Well?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
How do I get a quote?

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
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 usually take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Duty holders and landlords in Well
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.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
How we work
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We carry out the survey on site
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move things out of the way carefully

Helpful guides
What else we do in Well
Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
