Asbestos survey in Winklebury
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Asbestos survey near Winklebury
Buying an older property in Winklebury? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Common materials are floor tiles, pipe lagging and flues, and people normally contact us about shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and pre-purchase checks on older properties.
In towns and villages like Winklebury, surveys generally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Winklebury
Can you survey a school or hall near Winklebury?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Winklebury and the area around Basingstoke station?
Yes, we cover Winklebury and the area towards Basingstoke station, about 1.5 miles east.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Winklebury?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

What we deal with in Winklebury
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
For rented homes close to Basingstoke station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Questions to ask before booking
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Which areas and materials are covered
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials in Winklebury
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Options to consider in Winklebury
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
