About Asbestos in Homes South Yorkshire – Independent Asbestos Surveyors Across South Yorkshire
Operated by BPS, we carry out straightforward, UKAS-accredited asbestos surveys, bulk material sampling, and safe non-licensed removals for homeowners, home buyers, landlords, and local trades across South Yorkshire.
Who We Are & How We Work on Site
Asbestos in Homes South Yorkshire is operated by BPS, an independent, UKAS-accredited inspection body working directly on site across South Yorkshire. We are not a national call centre or a middleman network passing your details to third-party subcontractors. When you book a survey or sample test with us, one of our own qualified surveyors arrives at your door with the right protective kit, testing tools, and digital floor plan software.
Discovering suspected asbestos during a house purchase or just before a kitchen refit can be stressful. Our job is to replace guesswork and anxiety with clear laboratory facts. Whether we are checking textured Artex ceilings and thermoplastic floor tiles in 1960s and 1970s housing estates across Basingstoke, Andover, and Havant, or inspecting weathered corrugated cement outbuildings on rural plots in the New Forest, we assess every material based on its actual condition and fibre-release risk.
Every bulk sample we take is extracted using controlled wetting techniques to prevent dust spread, sealed immediately, and analysed by an independent UKAS-accredited testing laboratory. We then give you a plain-English report that tells you exactly what is present and whether it simply needs leaving alone, encapsulating, or removing.
BPS is a UKAS-accredited inspection body, using independent UKAS-accredited laboratory testing for all samples.
Honest guidance without scaremongering—we explain when materials are safe to manage in place versus when removal is needed.
What We Do (and How We Keep Your Property Safe)
We handle domestic and light commercial Asbestos Services, Removal, Testing & Sampling with strict containment procedures so your home is left clean, secure, and ready for your next steps.
Management & R&D Surveys
For home buyers and landlords, our management surveys inspect accessible areas like airing cupboards, loft spaces, soffits, and boiler flues without damaging décor.
If you are knocking down walls, rewiring, or fitting a new kitchen, our Refurbishment and Demolition (R&D) surveys inspect behind tiled boxing, beneath floorboards, and inside ceiling voids before your builders start work.
Controlled Sampling & Lab Testing
If a plasterer, electrician, or carpet fitter stops work because of a suspect ceiling coating or old vinyl floor tile, we can attend solely to take discrete bulk samples.
We dampen the spot with surfactant spray to suppress airborne fibres, extract a small cross-section down to the backing, double-bag the sample, and seal the test point immediately with filler or sealant.
Non-Licensed Removal & Waste Disposal
We safely dismantle and remove non-licensed asbestos materials including corrugated cement garage roofs, rainwater guttering, downpipes, bitumen floor tiles, and cement flues.
Our operatives wear fitted FFP3 respiratory protection and Category 3 coveralls, use 1000-gauge polythene sheeting and Class H vacuum extraction, and double-bag all waste in UN-approved hazardous sacks with full consignment notes.
Why Homeowners, Buyers & Trades Choose Us
When you are dealing with mortgage deadlines, solicitor enquiries, or builders waiting on site, you need clear answers without sales pressure. Here is how we keep every job transparent and reliable:
Clear Separation Between Testing and Licensed Contracting
We carry out surveys, sampling, and non-licensed removals. Where high-risk licensed materials (such as sprayed coatings or loose-fill insulation) are identified, we do not push in-house licensed removal; instead, we sample safely and give you impartial remediation advice to arrange licensed contracting.
Regulated Hazardous Waste Consignment
Local council tips across South Yorkshire do not accept commercial renovation asbestos waste without strict permits. When we remove garage roof sheets, soffits, or floor tiles, we transport everything directly to a licensed hazardous waste transfer station and provide your legal waste consignment paperwork.
Reports Written for Real People, Not Just Regulators
Our digital survey reports include annotated floor plans, clear site photographs, laboratory certificates, and straightforward material risk assessments that mortgage lenders, conveyancing solicitors, and building contractors can read at a glance.
Areas We Cover Across South Yorkshire
Our surveyors travel daily across South Yorkshire for pre-purchase inspections, refurbishment surveys, bulk sampling, and non-licensed asbestos removals.
