Which option is right?
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. Our guide explains which you need. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What happens next
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Beaulieu
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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.
Do you work near Beaulieu Road station?
Yes. Beaulieu Road station is about 3.4 miles north-west of Beaulieu, and we cover both.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Beaulieu?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

- Boiler cupboards and panels
