About our asbestos survey in Burley Street
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Burley Street, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. We often deal with boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and water tanks, and typical jobs are workplaces built before 2000 and planned refurbishment work.
In a village like Burley Street, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, generally well bound in.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you manage or own a block in Burley Street, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Dig out previous surveys

Common questions in Burley Street
Do older homes in Burley Street have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Burley Street buildings and asbestos surveys
Burley Street is in Hampshire. In Burley Street, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses. Burley Street is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work. Our area stretches from Burley Street to Southampton (15 miles away).
If you have an older property in Burley Street, near Burley Street Mission Hall or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. Parts of the New Forest National Park are within about a mile of Burley Street, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.
We handle surveys in every part of the BH24 postcode area. From Tyrells Lane, Ringwood Road and Forest Road or a nearby road, we can help. Close by, we cover Burley (1 mile south-east), Foulford (2 miles north-west), Forest Corner (2 miles north-west), Shobley (2 miles north-west) and Bagnum (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Totton (11 miles north-east), Lymington (9 miles south-east), Romsey (15 miles north-east), Hythe (14 miles east), New Milton (6 miles south) and Ringwood (3 miles west).

Can I do it myself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After we’ve finished:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- 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
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
