About our asbestos survey in Blackfield
Not every older building in Blackfield contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you are in, so you can plan sensibly. Typical jobs include purchases of older homes and buildings and planned refurbishment work, involving floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and soffits.
In places like Blackfield, surveys typically cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Why people call us in Blackfield
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
For a school like Blackfield Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.
Before booking anyone
- What the report or result will contain
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
After we’ve finished in Blackfield
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
After we have finished:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

Weighing up your options
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Condition assessed for every material
- Records for your files
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Clear next steps

Questions from Blackfield
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Blackfield?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
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 come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you work in Blackfield?
Yes, Blackfield is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

Helpful guides
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
