Expert Asbestos Testing Surveys in Bournemouth, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole

Not every property needs the same level of inspection, and we’ll never talk you into a service you don’t need. If you’re a landlord or just want to make sure your family home is safe, a Management Survey is usually the way to go. It’s a non-intrusive check that identifies any asbestos likely to be disturbed during normal daily life. On the other hand, if you’re planning on knocking through a wall or starting a big renovation project in Christchurch, you’ll need a Refurbishment and Demolition (R&D) Survey. This is a bit more 'hands-on' and looks deep into the fabric of the building to ensure no hidden fibres are released when the hammers come out.

So, what does the process actually look like? When we visit your property, our BOHS P402 qualified surveyors will take small 'bulk samples' of any suspicious materials like Artex, floor tiles, or lagging. We don't guess; we send these samples straight to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Within a few days, you’ll have a clear report in your hands. It’ll tell you exactly what’s there, where it is, and how to manage it. No confusing jargon or scary sales pitches—just the facts you need to make an informed decision. It’s all part of our commitment to following the HSG 264 guidelines and keeping our local community safe.

If you’re running a business or managing a commercial building in Poole or Bournemouth, you’ve got a 'Duty to Manage' asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. It can feel like a lot of paperwork, but it’s vital for the safety of your staff and visitors. We work with local business owners to create easy-to-manage asbestos registers and management plans. From small workshops to larger units in Mannings Heath, we ensure you’re fully compliant with the law, protecting you from potential fines and, more importantly, protecting everyone who walks through your doors.
