Choosing the Right Asbestos Survey for Your Project

Not all surveys are the same, and picking the wrong one can lead to delays or unexpected costs. Most homeowners we speak to usually need one of two types:Asbestos Management Surveys: Think of this as your standard health check. It's a non-intrusive survey designed to locate any ACMs (Asbestos-Containing Materials) that might be disturbed during normal daily life. It’s perfect for peace of mind or for landlords managing a rental property in Hampshire.Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Surveys: If you're about to knock through a wall or rip out an old kitchen, this is the one you need. It's a more intrusive inspection that gets into the fabric of the building to ensure no asbestos is hidden behind panels or under floorboards.We follow the HSG 264 guidelines strictly, ensuring your report is legally robust and easy to understand. Not sure which one you need? Just give us a ring on 023 8272 1620 and we'll talk you through it.

FAQ

Asbestos Testing & Survey FAQs

Answers to common questions about our professional asbestos testing and survey services in Totton and across Southampton, Berkshire and Surrey .

How can I tell if my roof has asbestos?

+

It’s usually grey, hard, and corrugated. It was very common on garages built between the 50s and the 90s. Testing is the only way to be 100% sure.

Can I take it down myself?

+

We really don't recommend it. Without the right masks and training, you could breathe in fibres or contaminate your garden. Most local tips also won't take this kind of waste from the public.

How do you take it away?

+

We spray the sheets with a special liquid to stop dust, then unbolt them carefully. Every piece is wrapped in heavy-duty plastic and labelled before we take it to a licensed site.

How do I get an asbestos test in Totton?

+

If you live in Totton or the New Forest and find a material you’re worried about, Stay Safe Environmental can help. We carry out bulk sampling, where we take a tiny piece of the material and send it to a UKAS-accredited lab. This tells us exactly what kind of asbestos is there and how much of a risk it poses.

Which asbestos survey do I need for my New Forest home?

+

It usually depends on why you’re asking. If you just want to know your home is safe, a Management Survey is what you need. It locates any ACM identification (asbestos-containing materials) that might be damaged during day-to-day life. If you are planning a renovation or knocking down a wall in Totton, you must have a Refurbishment Survey. This is more intrusive and looks into the spots you can't normally see, like inside wall cavities or under floors.

Why is professional asbestos testing important in Hampshire?

+

You can't see asbestos fibres with the naked eye. In places like Totton, where many homes date back to the mid-20th century, asbestos was used in everything from floor tiles to ceiling coatings. Professional testing by Stay Safe Environmental gives you a clear answer so you don't take risks with your health or the health of your family.

Can you test Artex and floor tiles for asbestos?

+

Yes, these are some of the most common things we test in Totton. Artex often contains a small amount of white asbestos. If you plan on sanding it down or scraping it off, you need to know if it’s there first. We take samples quickly and cleanly, so you aren't left with a mess.

What happens after the survey is finished?

+

Once the results come back from the lab, we give you a full report. This lists where any asbestos is, what condition it’s in, and what we think you should do next. Sometimes it’s best to leave it alone and seal it; other times, it needs to come out. We’ll walk you through the options so you can make a choice that fits your budget and your plans.
