Asbestos survey for Boldre properties
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Boldre must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Whether it’s contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we deal with garage roofs, pipe lagging and textured ceilings and more.
Around a village like Boldre, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- Soffits and porch canopies

Common reasons for surveys in Boldre
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Buying a property built before 2000
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you manage lettings around Lymington Town station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Boldre questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Boldre?
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 Boldre?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work in Boldre?
Yes. We cover Boldre and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Boldre, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

When we quote, we look at:

After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Some practical advice:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Book the survey before you book builders
Avoid these
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
