About our asbestos survey in Bailey's Hard
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Bailey's Hard. Common materials are pipe lagging, soffits and floor tiles, and typical jobs are the communal parts of blocks of flats and demolition and strip-out.
Village properties around Bailey's Hard often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that is needed.

What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before booking:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Why people call us in Bailey's Hard
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Checks on rental property
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you have an older property in Bailey's Hard, near Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What the report or result will contain
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- VAT, clearly stated
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Your options compared
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Bailey's Hard: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Bailey's Hard?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work near Beaulieu Road station?
Yes. Beaulieu Road station is about 4.2 miles north-west of Bailey's Hard, and we cover both.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches

What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
