Asbestos survey near Hatchet Green
Any building in Hatchet Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. From workplaces built before 2000 and surveys requested by builders before work, we deal with flues, water tanks and textured ceilings and more.
Village houses like those in Hatchet Green have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We only recommend work that’s needed.

After we have finished in Hatchet Green
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
To avoid problems in future:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Choosing the right option
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you are comparing like with like. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What you get
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Condition assessed for every material
- Clear advice on your options
- Records for your files

Hatchet Green: your questions answered
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Hatchet Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Is asbestos common in Hatchet Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Do you cover Hatchet Green?
We do: Hatchet Green is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
