Asbestos survey in Little Holbury
Asbestos survey in Little Holbury
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Little Holbury, 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. Typical jobs include kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and community buildings and halls, involving water tanks, floor tiles and boiler cupboard panels.
Village houses like those in Little Holbury have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Don’ts
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Choosing the right option
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 refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- How much there is
- Material and condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Which survey type fits your plans
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- Cracks or breaks
- How we’d reach it
- Street parking nearby
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Little Holbury
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you survey a school or hall near Little Holbury?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

Does someone need to be there?
