Asbestos survey near Lee-on-the-Solent
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Lee-on-the-Solent, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Whether it’s demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and surveys requested by builders before work, we deal with textured ceilings, floor tiles and water tanks.
In areas like Lee-on-the-Solent, surveys generally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Typical surveys in Lee-on-the-Solent
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That is why so many buildings in Hampshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Typical jobs in Lee-on-the-Solent include:
- Community buildings and halls
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Buying a property built before 2000
Non-domestic buildings, Lee-On-the-Solent Infant and Nursery School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Common questions in Lee-on-the-Solent
Is asbestos common in Lee-on-the-Solent homes?
If your home in Lee-on-the-Solent was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Fareham station?
Yes. Fareham station is about 3.5 miles north of Lee-on-the-Solent, and we cover both.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
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, then contact a professional.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.

Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
