Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Asbestos survey for Hordle properties

Planning building work in Hordle? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Typical jobs include kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and public and community buildings, including boiler cupboard panels, soffits and textured ceilings.

A survey in Hordle typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Afterwards

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

Keeping things safe:

For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Share any previous surveys or drawings
Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards

Don’ts

About asbestos surveys

For businesses and landlords in Hordle

If you run a business from older premises in Hordle, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Common questions in Hordle

Do you work near New Milton station?

Yes. New Milton station is about 1.7 miles west of Hordle, and we cover both.

Can you survey a school or hall near Hordle?

Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

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.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.

Is asbestos dangerous?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

Your options compared

Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Step by step

A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.
