Asbestos survey in Firgo
Asbestos survey near Firgo
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. People often contact us about schools, halls and community buildings and pre-work surveys for trades, involving water tanks, floor tiles and boiler cupboard panels.
Around a village like Firgo, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
Typical jobs in Firgo include:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Demolition and strip-out
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
Schools such as Testbourne Community School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What to look for in a quote
- What you will receive in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The number of samples
- Which areas and materials are covered
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
For businesses and landlords in Firgo
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Firgo must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Common questions in Firgo
Could my house in Firgo contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Firgo can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Firgo and the area around Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes, we cover Firgo and the area towards Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 2.4 miles north.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How we price an asbestos survey

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- 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
