Asbestos survey near East Boldre
Asbestos survey in East Boldre
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in East Boldre, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. From shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and buying a property built before 2000, we cover soffits, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs.
Village properties around East Boldre often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What it costs
Prices vary with:

- The building’s size and layout
- Travel and parking
- Which survey type fits your plans
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Visible markings
- The parking area

East Boldre: your questions answered
Do you cover East Boldre and the area around Beaulieu Road station?
Yes. Beaulieu Road station is about 3.8 miles north-west of East Boldre, and we cover both.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around East Boldre?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Which asbestos survey do I need in East Boldre?
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.
What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we see
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Going forward:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.

What else we do in East Boldre
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
The process
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Helpful guides
What we deal with in East Boldre
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Workplaces built before 2000
A school such as Beaulieu Village Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is generally where that starts.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
