Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
How asbestos survey works in Cadnam
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. 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 Cadnam. Typical jobs include demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and the communal parts of blocks of flats, involving flues, soffits and water tanks.
In a village like Cadnam, 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.

Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Why people call us in Cadnam
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.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
For rented homes close to Ashurst New Forest station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

Questions from Cadnam
Do you work near Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes, we cover Cadnam and the area towards Ashurst New Forest station, about 3.1 miles south-east.
Do you come out to small villages like Cadnam?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Cadnam buildings and asbestos surveys
Cadnam is about 3 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. If your survey is in Cadnam, let us know about access. Cadnam is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 8 miles away.
Schools such as Bartley Church of England Junior School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register. If you have an older property in Cadnam, near Church of St Mary or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. Parts of the New Forest National Park are within about 4 miles of Cadnam, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How we price an asbestos survey
Prices vary with:
- The type of survey you need
- The building’s size and layout
- Parking and access charges
- The quantity or area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Cadnam must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
How it works
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, for the report. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Dig out previous surveys
- Move things out of the way carefully

We are upfront about what’s included:

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
