Questions from Baughurst
Is asbestos common in Baughurst homes?
Any home in Baughurst built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Baughurst from London?
We cover Baughurst, about 47 miles from central London.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is a survey needed before building work in Baughurst?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
About our asbestos survey in Baughurst
Not every older building in Baughurst contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. Typical jobs include rented homes due for maintenance and common parts of flats and HMOs, including garage roofs, floor tiles and water tanks.
In a village like Baughurst, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
What’s included, and what is not
Before you book, note that:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Step by step
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Baughurst
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Baughurst must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That’s why so many buildings in Hampshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition and strip-out
Schools such as The Hurst School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
