How asbestos survey works in Highcliffe

Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Highcliffe must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is generally the starting point. Whether it’s rented homes due for maintenance and workplaces built before 2000, we deal with garage roofs, floor tiles and soffits and more.

Highcliffe has a mix of older and newer homes, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What we deal with in Highcliffe

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 gives them that information.

These come up again and again:

Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
The communal parts of blocks of flats
Purchases of older homes and buildings
Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings

Planning work on an older building in Highcliffe, whether near All Saints or elsewhere? Get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.

For landlords, agents and businesses

For managing agents and freeholders in Highcliffe, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

What it costs

The cost depends on:

Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
The size and age of the building
The survey type
What the material is and its state

We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Photos that help

Photo tips:

A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Damaged areas
An idea of size
The parking area

Send us the address in Highcliffe, a description and some photos: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page, and we’ll reply with a quote.

After we have finished in Highcliffe

For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.

After we have finished:

Share any previous surveys or drawings
Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Survey first, then book the trades

Don’ts

Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

What happens

Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.

Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear

Buying a house with asbestos: what you need to know

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Highcliffe

Could my house in Highcliffe contain asbestos?

Any home in Highcliffe built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you cover Highcliffe and the area around Winchester station?

Yes. Winchester station is about 1.1 miles north-west of Highcliffe, and we cover both.

Do you work in Highcliffe?

Yes, we do: Highcliffe is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.

Can you help a business or landlord?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?

Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.

Doing it yourself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

Limits to be aware of

What’s in and what’s out:

Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Materials we see

Artex and textured coatings
Cement sheets and cladding
Floor tiles and adhesive
Garage and shed roofs
Roofing felt and bitumen
Boiler cupboards and panels
Soffits and porch canopies
Ceiling tiles
Pipe lagging
Water tanks and flues

Your options compared

A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
