How asbestos survey works in Blendworth
Planning building work in Blendworth? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. People often contact us about purchases of older homes and buildings and surveys requested by builders before work, involving garage roofs, floor tiles and pipe lagging.
Rural homes near Blendworth have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Blendworth buildings and asbestos surveys
Blendworth is about 1 mile north-east of Horndean, in Hampshire. Properties in Blendworth range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. We work right across the region, from Blendworth to Southampton (about 18 miles away).
If you are a landlord near Rowlands Castle station, share asbestos information with trades before work. A school such as Horndean Church of England Junior School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is generally where that starts. Blendworth is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.
We cover surveys across PO8 and the streets around it. If your property is just outside Blendworth, we also cover Chalton (2 miles north-east), Forestside (3 miles east), West Marden (4 miles east), Buriton (4 miles north) and Weston (5 miles north). Further out, we also cover Gosport (11 miles south-west), Havant (4 miles south), Fareham (10 miles south-west), Hedge End (14 miles west), Waterlooville (3 miles south-west) and Petersfield (6 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Havant War Memorial Hospital (4.3 miles south) and Clanfield Earthwork (2.1 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Windmill Hill.
- Nearby schools include Horndean Technology College (1 mile west)
- Pubs nearby include The Ship & Bell pub (under half a mile south-west)
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
After we’ve finished in Blendworth
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Staying safe afterwards:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Your options compared
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. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Every main survey type
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Recommendations in plain English
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
How we price an asbestos survey
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- Parking and access charges
- Access to the area
- The survey type
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Where we could park
- Visible markings
- A clear close-up
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Where asbestos turns up
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
If you have an older property in Blendworth, near Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Blendworth
Do you cover Blendworth and the area around Rowlands Castle station?
Yes, we cover Blendworth and the area towards Rowlands Castle station, about 2.1 miles south-east.
Can you survey a school or hall near Blendworth?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Blendworth?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
