About our asbestos survey in Breamore
The type of survey you need in Breamore depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will recommend the right one. People often contact us about demolition projects and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, including flues, pipe lagging and water tanks.
Around a village like Breamore, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

FAQs for Breamore
Do you cover small places like Breamore?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Breamore?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.

After we have finished in Breamore
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
A few practical points:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before you book builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Common reasons for surveys in Breamore
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Schools, halls and community buildings
Altering an older house in Breamore, wherever it is? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
What your quote should include
- What the report or result will contain
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why people choose us
- Accredited laboratory results
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Records for your files
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, typically well bound in.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
The process
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
How to prepare
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
How to get a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you manage or own a block in Breamore, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
