Expert Asbestos Testing Surveys in Andover, Hampshire

Is that old floor tile actually dangerous, or is it just ugly? You can't tell just by looking. Asbestos was tucked into everything from ceiling coatings to those brittle water tanks in the loft. At Stay Safe Environmental, we offer two main types of surveys to clear things up. Our Management Survey is perfect if you’re just living in your home and want to make sure everything is safe. It's non-intrusive and gives you a clear map of any ACMs (Asbestos-Containing Materials). However, if you're planning on bringing the sledgehammer out for a renovation, you'll need our Refurbishment and Demolition (R&D) survey. This is a deeper dive to find hidden asbestos behind walls or under floors before you start work.

We know you're likely on a tight schedule with your builders or a house sale, so we don't hang about. Our BOHS P402 qualified surveyors will visit your property in Andover or the surrounding Test Valley villages to take 'bulk samples'. This just means we carefully snip a tiny piece of the suspect material to send off. We use UKAS-accredited laboratories for all our testing, ensuring the results are 100% accurate. You'll get a clear, easy-to-read report that tells you exactly what’s there and, more importantly, what you need to do about it. Usually, we can get these results back to you much faster than the big national firms.

If you manage a business or own a commercial building in Andover, you've got a legal 'Duty to Manage' under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. It can feel like a bit of a minefield, can't it? Whether it's an industrial unit on the Walworth Estate or a shop in the town centre, we help you stay on the right side of the law. We provide comprehensive asbestos reports that keep you compliant and, more importantly, keep your staff and customers safe. From one-off inspections to regular management updates, we make the whole process of legal compliance as painless as possible for local business owners.

Imagine you've found your dream home in the Test Valley, but the mortgage surveyor has flagged 'potential asbestos' in the garage roof or the old boiler flue. It’s enough to make anyone's heart sink. We specialise in pre-purchase asbestos surveys that give you the leverage and information you need. We'll pop out to the property, conduct a thorough check, and give you a professional report. If we do find something, we can also provide a clear quote for removal, so you know exactly what the costs are before you sign on the dotted line. It’s all about making sure there are no nasty surprises waiting for you after move-in day.
