Asbestos surveying in Portsmouth
BOHS P402 asbestos surveys for homes, businesses and the public sector across Portsmouth - management, refurbishment and demolition surveys to HSG264, with UKAS-accredited analysis - plus HSE-licensed removal, if asbestos is confirmed.
Asbestos surveys, done properly, close to home
Portsmouth's post-war rebuild, its naval dockyard heritage and one of the densest housing stocks in the country mean a lot of properties where nobody is quite sure what's in the walls, ceilings or pipework - especially anything built or renovated before the 1999 UK-wide asbestos ban. A management or refurbishment survey is the fastest way to find out before you buy, let, renovate or demolish.
Our BOHS P402 surveyors carry out management, refurbishment and demolition surveys to HSG264 across Portsmouth and Portsea Island, with sampling and UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis where it's needed. You get a clear report, a usable asbestos register and honest recommendations, not a document that sits in a drawer. If asbestos is confirmed, we're also HSE-licensed for the removal, so the two can run as one job.
Reports and your asbestos register are available anytime through our secure Online Survey Reports area, so you and your team always have access.
