Typical jobs include schools, halls and community buildings and demolition and strip-out, involving garage roofs, flues and floor tiles.

Questions from Chandler's Ford
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Chandler's Ford?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Chandler's Ford from London?
We cover Chandler's Ford, about 66 miles from central London.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
After we have finished in Chandler's Ford
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, generally bound in the bitumen.

Every quote reflects:

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you manage or own a block in Chandler's Ford, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
