Your questions about an asbestos survey in Hawkley
Is asbestos common in Hawkley homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hawkley can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Hawkley and the area around Liss station?
Yes, we cover Hawkley and the area towards Liss station, about 2.1 miles south-east.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually bound in the bitumen.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Hawkley, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
