Asbestos help in Lymington
Lymington questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Lymington?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work on properties 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.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Lymington?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.

Helpful guides
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Other services in Lymington
After we have finished in Lymington
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Some practical advice:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
For businesses and landlords in Lymington
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Why people call us in Lymington

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Community buildings and halls

A school such as Lymington Junior School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.
