Asbestos survey for Dumpford properties
About to refurbish in Dumpford? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Typical jobs include schools, halls and community buildings and buying a property built before 2000, including floor tiles, textured ceilings and soffits.
Around a village like Dumpford, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Where asbestos turns up
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Demolition and strip-out
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
If you have an older property in Dumpford, near St George's Church or anywhere else, survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.

What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs

What else we do in Dumpford
What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- How much sampling is needed
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey type
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
- Cracks or breaks
Not sure what you need? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page and describe the problem, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Dumpford questions
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Liss station?
Yes, we cover Dumpford and the area towards Liss station, about 4.9 miles north-west.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work in Dumpford?
Yes. We cover Dumpford and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.

Options to consider in Dumpford
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?

- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Clear written quotes
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
