Professional Asbestos Testing
& Surveys in Totton
Certified experts providing safe, accurate sampling and ACM identification across Hampshire.

Not all surveys are the same, and picking the wrong one could leave you with a massive headache down the line. Most of the homeowners we talk to just need a Management Survey. This is a standard, non-intrusive check to see if any ACMs (Asbestos Containing Materials) are present and, more importantly, what condition they’re in. It's the perfect choice if you're buying a new house or just want peace of mind while living there. However, if you're planning on knocking through a wall or starting a big renovation, you'll need a Refurbishment and Demolition (R&D) Survey. This is more hands-on and looks into the fabric of the building where asbestos might be tucked away in wall cavities or under floorboards. Whatever your plans are, our BOHS P402 qualified surveyors follow the HSG 264 guidelines to the letter, ensuring you stay compliant and, most importantly, safe.

Spotted something suspicious during a DIY project? Maybe it's a bit of old pipe lagging or some strange-looking ceiling tiles. Don't touch it! The real danger of asbestos comes when those tiny fibres are released into the air. Instead, let us handle the bulk sampling. We’ll come out to your property in Totton or the surrounding areas, take a small, safe sample of the material, and send it off to a UKAS-accredited laboratory. You won't be left waiting around for weeks, either. We know how stressful it is waiting for results, so we prioritise a fast turnaround. Once the lab confirms what we're dealing with, we’ll provide a clear, jargon-free report explaining exactly what was found and what your next steps should be, whether that's asbestos removal or simply asbestos encapsulation to keep it stable.

If you manage a commercial property or you're a local landlord, you’ve got a legal 'Duty to Manage' asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. It can feel like a bit of a minefield, can't it? We help plenty of business owners across Hampshire and Surrey navigate these rules without the fuss. Whether you need a one-off survey for a retail unit or ongoing management for an industrial site, we provide the documentation you need to stay on the right side of the law. A proper asbestos survey isn't just a box-ticking exercise; it's a vital part of your health and safety toolkit. We’ll help you identify high-risk materials like AIB (Asbestos Insulating Board) and create a plan that keeps your tenants and employees protected.
