Expert Asbestos Testing Surveys in New Alresford, Hampshire

Most homeowners we speak to are surprised to learn just how common asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are. From that old Artex ceiling in the spare room to the floor tiles hidden under your kitchen lino, it turns out it was used in almost everything back in the day. If you're planning any building work, a Refurbishment and Demolition (R&D) Survey is essential. This is a more intrusive check where we look behind the scenes—inside wall cavities and under floorboards—to ensure no nasty surprises are waiting for your builders. It's all about keeping your family and your contractors safe from inhaling dangerous fibres. Our team follows the strict HSG 264 guidelines, so you can be sure every nook and cranny is checked properly.

Do you own a business in New Alresford or manage a local commercial property? If so, you have a legal 'Duty to Manage' asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. We make this process simple with our Asbestos Management Surveys. This is a standard, non-intrusive inspection designed to locate any asbestos that could be damaged or disturbed during normal day-to-day use. We'll give you a clear, easy-to-read report that acts as your asbestos register. It tells you where the materials are, what condition they're in, and what you need to do next. It’s not just about ticking a box for compliance; it's about having the confidence that your staff and customers are protected.

Sometimes you don't need a full building survey; maybe you've just spotted a suspicious-looking bit of insulation in the loft or some old cement roofing on the garage. We can pop round to take a 'bulk sample' for you. Our BOHS P402 qualified surveyors will carefully take a small piece of the material, following all safety protocols to ensure no fibres escape. These samples are then sent off to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for testing. We know that waiting for results can be nerve-wracking, which is why we pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. You'll have definitive answers and expert recommendations on whether you need asbestos removal or if the material can be safely left in place with simple encapsulation.
