Asbestos survey in Haslar
Asbestos survey near Haslar
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Haslar, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Common materials are floor tiles, textured ceilings and flues, and typical jobs are community buildings and halls and surveys requested by builders before work.
In a village like Haslar, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Looking after things afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Common questions in Haslar
Do you cover Haslar from London?
Haslar is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Haslar and the area around Portsmouth Harbour station?
Yes. Portsmouth Harbour station is about 1.5 miles north-east of Haslar, and we cover both.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What affects the price in Haslar
What drives the price:
- How much sampling is needed
- The survey scope
- The size and age of the building
- What the material is and its state
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Common reasons for surveys in Haslar
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Demolition projects
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
Non-domestic buildings, Haselworth Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
