HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Asbestos survey near Blashford
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Blashford, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include workplaces built before 2000 and rented homes due for maintenance, involving pipe lagging, floor tiles and garage roofs.
Around a village like Blashford, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Weighing up your options
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Questions from Blashford
Can you survey a school or hall near Blashford?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover small places like Blashford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically 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.
Do you work in Blashford?
Yes. We cover Blashford and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
What happens
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
