Asbestos survey for Havenstreet
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos survey near Havenstreet
What you are planning in Havenstreet decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll recommend the right one. From kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and the communal parts of blocks of flats, we cover pipe lagging, textured ceilings and floor tiles and more.
Village properties around Havenstreet often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Havenstreet: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Havenstreet?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Havenstreet have asbestos?
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.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
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.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
After we have finished in Havenstreet
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Book the survey before booking builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
