Asbestos survey for Leagreen properties
For landlords and managing agents in Leagreen, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. Typical materials include floor tiles, soffits and boiler cupboard panels, and people generally contact us about buying a property built before 2000 and planned refurbishment work.
In a village like Leagreen, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Where asbestos turns up
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
These come up again and again:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Buying a property built before 2000
Altering an older house in Leagreen, wherever it is? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

FAQs for Leagreen
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.
Could my house in Leagreen contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is a survey needed before building work in Leagreen?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
A few practical points:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

Leagreen buildings and asbestos surveys
Leagreen is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. If your survey is in Leagreen, let us know about access. We work in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 15 miles away.
If you let flats or houses near New Milton station, a survey gives contractors the information they need. Schools such as Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. Leagreen is within about 6 miles of the New Forest National Park, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common. Leagreen is within about 4 miles of the coast; porch canopies and soffits on coastal homes can be included in a survey.

Options to consider in Leagreen
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Leagreen were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
