Asbestos survey near Ibsley
Asbestos survey in Ibsley
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Ibsley, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is usually the starting point. Typical jobs include workplaces built before 2000 and surveys requested by builders before work, including floor tiles, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels.
Rural homes near Ibsley have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common reasons for surveys in Ibsley
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Planned refurbishment work
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition projects
Planning work on an older building in Ibsley, whether near Church of St Martins or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What you’ll receive in writing
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How we price an asbestos survey
Our quotes take into account:
- The size of the job
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
- The type of material and its condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- How we’d reach it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A clear close-up
- Approximate dimensions
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Common questions in Ibsley
Do you come out to small villages like Ibsley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
For managing agents and freeholders in Ibsley, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
