Asbestos survey in Wigley
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Wigley. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Common materials are soffits, water tanks and floor tiles, and typical jobs are kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and purchases of older homes and buildings.
In a village like Wigley, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Wigley: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Wigley homes?
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.
Do you work near Totton station?
Yes, we cover Wigley and the area towards Totton station, about 3.4 miles south-east.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
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.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Wigley?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

If you manage lettings around Totton station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

A school such as Embley counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed. Public buildings around Wigley, such as leisure centres and halls, are non-domestic premises, so their owners must manage any asbestos. Parts of the New Forest National Park are within about 6 miles of Wigley, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.

Helpful guides
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen

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. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why people choose us
- The right survey for your plans
- Reports and results you can share
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Practical recommendations

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wigley must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
