Asbestos survey near Burridge
Asbestos survey near Burridge
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Burridge, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. We often deal with pipe lagging, floor tiles and flues, and typical jobs are public and community buildings and rented homes due for maintenance.
Village properties around Burridge often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
Typical surveys in Burridge
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That’s why so many buildings in Hampshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition and strip-out
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
Schools such as Whiteley Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.

Questions from Burridge
Do you come out to small villages like Burridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Burridge and the area around Swanwick station?
Yes, we cover Burridge and the area towards Swanwick station, about 1 mile south.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
For businesses and landlords in Burridge
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Burridge, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Sending photos
Photo tips:

- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Doing it yourself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
