Asbestos survey near Worlds End
What happens
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

About our asbestos survey in Worlds End
If a building in Worlds End dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. From the communal parts of blocks of flats and workplaces built before 2000, we cover floor tiles, flues and textured ceilings.
Village houses like those in Worlds End have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Book the survey before booking builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
The scope of an asbestos survey
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Worlds End
Do you cover small places like Worlds End?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Worlds End and the area around Portchester station?
Yes, we cover Worlds End and the area towards Portchester station, about 3.7 miles south.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is a survey needed before building work in Worlds End?
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.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
