How asbestos survey works in Harestock
Our surveys in Harestock cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. We often deal with floor tiles, pipe lagging and water tanks, and people normally contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
Harestock has a mix of older and newer homes, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Common questions in Harestock
Is asbestos common in Harestock homes?
Any home in Harestock built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Harestock from London?
Harestock is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Harestock?
We do: Harestock is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Is a survey needed before building work in Harestock?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Typical surveys in Harestock
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Hampshire can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
For a school like Harestock Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Before booking anyone
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What the report or result will contain
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Limits to be aware of
Before booking, note that:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see

- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding

After we’ve finished in Harestock

After the job, keep these in mind:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
