About our asbestos survey in Furzey Lodge
If a building in Furzey Lodge dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. People often contact us about surveys requested by builders before work and workplaces built before 2000, involving water tanks, soffits and boiler cupboard panels.
Village properties around Furzey Lodge often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.

- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials

Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Material and condition
- The type of survey you need
- Travel and parking
- How many different materials need sampling
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Visible markings
- Damaged areas
For a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

What else we do in Furzey Lodge
Furzey Lodge: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Beaulieu Road station?
Yes, we cover Furzey Lodge and the area towards Beaulieu Road station, about 2.8 miles north-west.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Furzey Lodge?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Why people call us in Furzey Lodge
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Community buildings and halls
Schools such as Beaulieu Village Primary 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’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before you book:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
