HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Bishopstoke. From rented homes between tenancies and common parts of flats and HMOs, we cover garage roofs, water tanks and pipe lagging.
Homes in towns and villages like Bishopstoke range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.

- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Bishopstoke
Do you work near Eastleigh station?
Yes. Eastleigh station is about 1 mile west of Bishopstoke, and we cover both.
Could my house in Bishopstoke contain asbestos?
Any home in Bishopstoke built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
