Asbestos survey in Hook Park Estate
A closer look at the materials

About our asbestos survey in Hook Park Estate
For landlords and managing agents in Hook Park Estate, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. From common parts of flats and HMOs and buying a property built before 2000, we deal with floor tiles, pipe lagging and garage roofs.
Rural homes near Hook Park Estate have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Hook Park Estate, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
After the job
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After we have finished:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Book the survey before booking builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Questions from Hook Park Estate
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Hook Park Estate and the area around Hamble station?
Yes. Hamble station is about 2.6 miles north-west of Hook Park Estate, and we cover both.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Choosing the right option
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

Common reasons for surveys in Hook Park Estate
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
These come up again and again:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
Schools such as Hook-With-Warsash Church of England Academy are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
