About our asbestos survey in Wherwell Wood
For landlords and managing agents in Wherwell Wood, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. From shops, offices and industrial units and buying a property built before 2000, we deal with pipe lagging, flues and soffits.
Village houses like those in Wherwell Wood have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Wherwell Wood: your questions answered
Could my house in Wherwell Wood contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wherwell Wood can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes, we cover Wherwell Wood and the area towards Andover station, about 2.9 miles north-west.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Could my home contain 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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
What we deal with in Wherwell Wood
The danger generally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition projects
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Planned refurbishment work

For businesses and landlords in Wherwell Wood
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
