After we have finished in Blackmoor
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
About our asbestos survey in Blackmoor
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Blackmoor, a survey answers the asbestos question. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Whether it’s rented homes due for maintenance and planned refurbishment work, we deal with soffits, garage roofs and flues and more.
Village properties around Blackmoor often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Questions from Blackmoor
Do older homes in Blackmoor have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs 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 in Blackmoor?
Yes. We cover Blackmoor and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Blackmoor?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Options to consider in Blackmoor
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you’re comparing like with like. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Step by step
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Getting ready
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Dig out previous surveys
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Where asbestos turns up
The danger normally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Public and community buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you manage lettings around Liss station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
