How asbestos survey works in Clanfield
Not every older building in Clanfield contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. From planned refurbishment work and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, we cover pipe lagging, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Village properties around Clanfield often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Common reasons for surveys in Clanfield
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
Typical jobs in Clanfield include:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Checks on rental property
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition projects
Schools such as Clanfield 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 typically where that starts.
What your quote should include
- What the report or result will contain
- Which areas and materials are covered
- The scope, in writing
- Suitable insurance for the work
Common questions in Clanfield
Could my house in Clanfield contain asbestos?
If your home in Clanfield was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Rowlands Castle station?
Yes, we cover Clanfield and the area towards Rowlands Castle station, about 4.2 miles south-east.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
