Professional Asbestos Surveys in Portsmouth
Core Surveys provides professional asbestos surveys, asbestos testing, sample analysis and air monitoring throughout Portsmouth and the surrounding areas. With over 22 years of industry experience and offices serving the South of England and South Wales, we help businesses, public sector organisations and property owners identify, manage and comply with asbestos regulations through accurate surveys and practical advice.
Portsmouth is one of the UK’s most significant maritime and defence cities, home to the Royal Navy, major commercial employers, universities, hospitals, industrial estates and a large portfolio of historic buildings. Many of these properties were constructed during periods when asbestos-containing materials were widely used, making professional asbestos surveys essential before maintenance, refurbishment or redevelopment work is undertaken.
Whether you are responsible for a commercial building, educational facility, healthcare property or a large estate, Core Surveys provides reliable asbestos services tailored to your project and legal obligations.

Helping You Meet Your Legal Responsibilities
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations, those responsible for non-domestic premises have a legal duty to identify and manage asbestos where it is present. The correct asbestos survey provides essential information to safely plan maintenance, refurbishment and redevelopment works while protecting employees, contractors and visitors.
Our experienced consultants will recommend the most appropriate survey for your property and explain the findings in clear, practical terms, enabling informed decisions and effective asbestos management.
What type of asbestos survey do I need?
The appropriate survey depends on the planned works and the use of the building. Management surveys are generally suitable for occupied premises, while refurbishment and demolition surveys are required before intrusive works begin.
Do you work with both small businesses and large organisations?
Yes. Core Surveys supports organisations of every size, from independent businesses and landlords to NHS Trusts, universities, local authorities, national contractors and the Ministry of Defence.
Can you provide asbestos testing and air monitoring?
Yes. We provide asbestos sampling, laboratory analysis and air monitoring through our experienced in-house team, enabling an efficient and coordinated service.
Do you only work in Portsmouth?
No. While we regularly undertake projects throughout Portsmouth and Hampshire, Core Surveys operates nationwide from offices in East Sussex and South Wales, supporting clients across the UK.
