Domestic and Commercial Asbestos Services Across Winchester and Hampshire
Asbestos in Homes, operated by BPS, provides professional asbestos surveying, bulk material sampling, and non-licensed removal throughout Winchester and the surrounding mid-Hampshire towns. We support property buyers, domestic homeowners, landlords, and local trades by identifying hidden risks before building work begins or property sales complete. Whether you are dealing with textured Artex ceilings in a post-war home, corrugated outbuilding panels, or old floor tiles, we provide clear assessments backed by our status as a UKAS-accredited inspection body.
Our day-to-day operations cover standard visual management surveys for home purchases, fully intrusive refurbishment surveys before extensions, and targeted physical sampling. Every suspect sample we collect is delivered directly to an independent UKAS-accredited testing laboratory for precise analysis. Where low-risk bonded materials require extraction, our team carries out clean, non-licensed removals using dedicated containment and air-filtration equipment, leaving your property safe and ready for your planned works.
We focus on practical, objective safety without dramatising the presence of older materials. Asbestos remains common in properties built before the year 2000, and its presence does not automatically mean an immediate hazard. We inspect the physical condition of the material, determine whether it poses any active fibre release risk, and advise you clearly on whether it should be managed in place, encapsulated, or taken away.
Practical Site Safety and Clear Guidance on Every Inspection
Our approach on site is grounded in standard trade common sense and rigorous safety controls. When inspecting a home, we take the time to talk you through what we are looking at rather than handing over an incomprehensible technical document filled with jargon. We explain what condition the materials are in, whether regular maintenance is sufficient, or if physical removal is the sensible step before you bring in carpenters, heating engineers, or plasterers.
We believe in direct and honest communication, which means we do not invent risks to drum up costly remediation. If your textured ceiling coating or cement rainwater pipe is intact and undisturbed, we explain how to safely leave it alone. If works are scheduled and removal is unavoidable, we quote clearly for safe, non-licensed extraction or provide an impartial scope of work so you can bring in a licensed contractor for high-risk materials.

Local Asbestos Surveyors Working with Hampshire Building Stock
Working out of Hampshire, our surveyors understand the typical construction methods seen across Winchester, Eastleigh, and Chandler's Ford. From 1950s semi-detached housing with cement soffits to 1970s developments lined with thermoplastic floor tiles and bitumen adhesive, we know where builders historically positioned asbestos products. We check common locations like airing cupboards, service ducts, bath panels, and boiler flues without causing unnecessary damage to your home's finishes.
Because we are an independent inspection body, our surveying remains entirely objective. We do not carry out licensed asbestos removal work, such as stripping pipe lagging or sprayed coatings, which guarantees that our survey findings are never influenced by a desire to sell large-scale remediation contracts. When high-risk items are identified, we document their location accurately and advise you on securing independent, licensed specialists.

07393 355531Answers to common questions about our Asbestos Services, Removal, Testing & Sampling
Which parts of Hampshire do you cover for domestic and commercial asbestos services?
We work across the entire county from our Hampshire base, carrying out surveys and sampling regularly in Winchester, Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, and the New Forest. We travel with full sampling gear to both city-centre properties and rural locations without charging hidden mileage fees. Tell us your postcode and property type, and we will book you straight into our survey schedule.
How do you quote for an asbestos survey or non-licensed removal job?
We quote fixed costs based on the size and age of your property, the type of survey you need, and how many samples are likely required. For removal work like garage roofs or floor tiles, we calculate costs from photos or measurements of the square meterage and access points. You get an upfront, transparent quote in writing before we book the job, with no hidden lab fees added later.
What should I expect when a surveyor arrives at my property?
Your surveyor will arrive with photo identification, mobile sampling kits, and clean protective equipment, starting with a brief walk-around to discuss your plans. They work methodically through the agreed areas, taking controlled samples or recording material conditions without disrupting your household. Before packing up, the surveyor talks you through their initial visual observations and explains the next steps for laboratory testing.
Can you coordinate directly with our building contractor or architect before renovations start?
Yes, we regularly deal directly with Hampshire trades, architects, and project managers to review architectural drawings and work schedules. This makes sure our refurbishment survey inspects the precise pathways for new pipework, structural knock-throughs, and wiring runs. Pinpointing the exact work footprint stops your builders hitting unexpected delays once demolition or structural alterations begin.
What happens if you find high-risk asbestos that falls outside your non-licensed removal service?
We handle non-licensed materials directly, including bonded cement panels, rainwater goods, and thermoplastic floor tiles. If testing reveals licensed materials such as asbestos insulating board or thermal pipe lagging, we clearly explain the risk without drama and mark it in your report. We then help you scope the exact remediation required so you can obtain competitive, like-for-like quotes from vetted HSE-licensed contractors.
How much notice do you need to book an asbestos survey or targeted sampling visit?
We can usually book management surveys, R&D surveys, and material sampling visits within two to three working days across Hampshire. If you face a tight property exchange deadline or have builders waiting on site, let us know and we will do our best to slot you in sooner. Once on site, we take the samples, seal the areas cleanly, and dispatch everything directly to an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory.
