How asbestos survey works in Bordon
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Bordon. Whether it’s public and community buildings and common parts of flats and HMOs, we cover boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and soffits and more.
In Bordon, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

How we price an asbestos survey
We base our quote on:
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey type
- How much there is
- The size and age of the building
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
- Where we could park
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
After we have finished:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Common reasons for surveys in Bordon
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Surveys requested by builders before work

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Bordon
How far is Bordon from London?
Bordon is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Bordon contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.

If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, so you can keep people away. It helps if we can park nearby.

What else we do in Bordon
Should you do it yourself?
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.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
