Asbestos survey near Little Posbrook
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Asbestos survey for Little Posbrook properties
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in Little Posbrook. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. We often deal with pipe lagging, soffits and flues, and typical jobs are buying a property built before 2000 and shops, offices and industrial units.
Around a village like Little Posbrook, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Common reasons for surveys in Little Posbrook
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Demolition and strip-out
For rented homes close to Fareham station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Parking and access charges
- The type of survey you need
- What the material is and its state
- How big the building is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A clear close-up
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Which option is right?
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

After we’ve finished in Little Posbrook
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

Little Posbrook questions

What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
