About asbestos survey in SO24
For landlords and managing agents in SO24, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. Typical jobs include pre-work surveys for trades and planned refurbishment work, involving boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and flues.
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 the rooms must be cleared.
- 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
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Pricing in SO24
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Records for your files

Asbestos surveys across SO24
SO24 covers everything from New Alresford, Ropley and Bishop's Sutton to 23 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.
New Alresford: Non-domestic buildings, Sun Hill Junior School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is generally where that starts. Planning work on an older building in New Alresford, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Your options compared
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- If the price includes VAT
- The report contents
For businesses and landlords in SO24
If your business premises in SO24 were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
How we price an asbestos survey
Our quotes take into account:
- The building’s size and layout
- How easy it is to reach
- Material and condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Cracks or breaks
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An idea of size
Each job is priced individually. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
FAQs for SO24
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
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.
