Questions from Harbridge
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Harbridge homes?
If your home in Harbridge was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
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.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Asbestos survey in Harbridge
Any building in Harbridge built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Whether it’s contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and pre-purchase checks on older properties, we cover soffits, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
Rural homes near Harbridge have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Typical surveys in Harbridge
The danger normally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Schools, halls and community buildings
Got an older property in Harbridge, close to Church of All Saints or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

Your options compared
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before booking:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive

Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
For businesses and landlords in Harbridge
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Step by step
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out previous surveys
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know if something’s broken
