Asbestos help in Hound
What happens next
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Asbestos survey near Hound
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Hound, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Whether it’s shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and public and community buildings, we deal with pipe lagging, soffits and garage roofs.
Village houses like those in Hound have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Weighing up your options
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Domestic and commercial work

Questions from Hound
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Hound?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What affects the price in Hound
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- How much sampling is needed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
- How we’d reach it
- A rough size or measurement
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
What we deal with in Hound
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
Got an older property in Hound, close to Church of St Mary or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- How many samples are included
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
