Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.

FAQs for Marchwood
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Marchwood have asbestos?
Any home in Marchwood built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Marchwood?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
