Asbestos survey for Chineham
Asbestos survey for Chineham properties
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Chineham. We often deal with water tanks, soffits and garage roofs, and typical jobs are workplaces built before 2000 and pre-purchase checks on older properties.
In a smaller place like Chineham, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Chineham

Yes. Basingstoke station is about 2.2 miles south-west of Chineham, and we cover both.
Can you survey a school or hall near Chineham?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Chineham?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Chineham?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Do you work in Chineham?
Yes, we do: our area includes Chineham and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What’s included, and what is not
What’s in and what’s out:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Hampshire can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
In older properties, we often see:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Public and community buildings
Schools such as Four Lanes Community Junior School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
