Duty holders and landlords in Milford on Sea
If you run a business from older premises in Milford on Sea, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Common reasons for surveys in Milford on Sea
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Hampshire can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Checks on rental property
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Planned refurbishment work
If you manage lettings around Lymington Town station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Questions to ask before booking

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- 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 won’t do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use

Questions from Milford on Sea
Is asbestos common in Milford on Sea homes?
If your home in Milford on Sea was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Milford on Sea?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Domestic and commercial work
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Condition ratings, not just a list
See our prices page or our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
