Expert Asbestos Testing Surveys in Fordingbridge, Hampshire

Are you buying a new home in Hampshire or perhaps you're a landlord responsible for a local shop? A Management Survey is usually exactly what you need. Think of it as a comprehensive 'health check' for your building. Our BOHS P402 qualified surveyors will carry out a thorough, non-intrusive inspection to locate any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that could be disturbed during normal day-to-day activities. We look at everything from Artex ceilings and floor tiles to those old water tanks. Once we're done, you'll receive a detailed report that outlines the condition of any asbestos found and, more importantly, a clear plan on how to manage it. It's about staying compliant with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 while keeping your family or tenants safe.

Planning a kitchen renovation or extending your Fordingbridge bungalow? Before you let the builders start knocking down walls, you legally need a Refurbishment and Demolition (R&D) Survey. Unlike a standard check, this is a fully intrusive inspection. We need to get behind the scenes—looking inside wall cavities, under floorboards, and above suspended ceilings—to find any asbestos that might be disturbed by the work. It's far better to find a hidden piece of AIB (Asbestos Insulating Board) now than to have your project ground to a halt and your site contaminated halfway through the build. We follow HSG 264 guidelines to the letter, ensuring your contractors can work safely and your project stays on track without any nasty surprises.

You can't tell if a material contains asbestos just by looking at it; even the pros need scientific proof. That’s why bulk sampling is such a vital part of what we do. If we spot something suspicious during our survey, we'll carefully take a small sample and send it off to a UKAS accredited laboratory for analysis. This ensures the results are 100% accurate. We know that waiting for results can be stressful, especially if you're in the middle of a property sale or a construction deadline. That’s why we focus on a fast turnaround, getting that vital information back to you as quickly as possible. Once we have the results, we can advise you on the best next steps, whether that's asbestos-removal, asbestos-encapsulation, or simply leaving it alone and monitoring its condition.
