Asbestos survey for Farnborough
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Farnborough, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Asbestos survey for Farnborough properties
Any building in Farnborough built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. From common parts of flats and HMOs and community buildings and halls, we cover soffits, pipe lagging and flues and more.
In Farnborough, a survey normally comes before a sale, a refit or planned maintenance. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What else we do in Farnborough
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Farnborough questions
Do you cover Farnborough and the area around Farnborough Main station?
Yes. Farnborough Main station is about 0.5 miles east of Farnborough, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Farnborough have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Farnborough may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is a survey needed before building work in Farnborough?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do you cover Farnborough?
Yes. We cover Farnborough and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.

Where asbestos turns up
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in Hampshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
In older properties, we often see:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Community buildings and halls
If you are a landlord near Farnborough Main station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether VAT is included
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How it works
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, for the report. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
