Asbestos survey in Hartley Wintney
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time

About our asbestos survey in Hartley Wintney
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and soffits, and people typically contact us about surveys requested by builders before work and demolition and strip-out.
Homes in places like Hartley Wintney range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Why people call us in Hartley Wintney
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
These come up again and again:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
For a school like Greenfields Junior School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
The process
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. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Make sure we can get to the area

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
