Asbestos survey for Broxhill properties
About to refurbish in Broxhill? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Typical jobs include demolition projects and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, including boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and garage roofs.
Village properties around Broxhill often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Broxhill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Broxhill
Do you cover small places like Broxhill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Broxhill contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
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. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
After the job
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Once we are done:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
