Asbestos survey across PO14
Our surveys in PO14 cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. People often contact us about refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and pre-purchase checks on older properties, including garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings.
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations

What’s near Stubbington
Locally, our jobs take us close to The Osborne View pub, Stubbington House School and Crofton Anne Dale Junior School and the streets around them. You will also find Holy Rood Church (within half a mile east) and Crofton School (0.6 miles east). The closest station to Stubbington is Fareham station, roughly 2.3 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Gosport War Memorial Hospital (3.7 miles south-east) and Carron Row Farm Museum (2.5 miles north). Within reach you’ll find West of the River Alver.
Surveying buildings in PO14
PO14 covers everything from Fareham, Stubbington and Locks Heath to 8 small villages and hamlets, and any built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. In towns we survey homes and businesses; in villages, outbuildings too. 16 of the places we cover in PO14 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
Stubbington: For a school like Crofton Anne Dale Junior School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is generally where that starts. If you are a landlord near Fareham station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
PO14 questions
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Which asbestos survey do I need in PO14?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
