Asbestos survey in Ashley
How asbestos survey works in Ashley
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Common materials are pipe lagging, garage roofs and water tanks, and people generally contact us about public and community buildings and rented homes between tenancies.
Homes in areas like Ashley range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Before you book, note that:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Options to consider in Ashley
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Records for your files
- Clear written quotes
- Clear next steps
- Domestic and commercial work

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Typical surveys in Ashley
You cannot tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Community buildings and halls
Schools such as Ashley Junior School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
What to look for in a quote
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The report contents
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Questions from Ashley
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you survey a school or hall near Ashley?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

What else we do in Ashley
After we’ve finished in Ashley
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
How it works

- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
