Asbestos survey in Mottisfont
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Mottisfont. From community buildings and halls and checks on rental property, we cover pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles.
Rural homes near Mottisfont have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Mottisfont
Do you cover Mottisfont from London?
We cover Mottisfont, about 70 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Mottisfont homes?
If your home in Mottisfont was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Do you cover Mottisfont?
We do: our area includes Mottisfont and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Places near Mottisfont
After we’ve finished in Mottisfont
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Book the survey before booking builders
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
How to prepare
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Warn neighbours if needed

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Mottisfont must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
