Asbestos survey in Netley Marsh
Plenty of older buildings, in Netley Marsh as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. Typical jobs include buying a property built before 2000 and schools, halls and community buildings, including soffits, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Village surveys around Netley Marsh can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Step by step
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive

For businesses and landlords in Netley Marsh
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Some practical advice:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Common reasons for surveys in Netley Marsh
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you manage lettings around Ashurst New Forest station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
What your quote should include
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Areas included and excluded
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What the report or result will contain
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Questions from Netley Marsh
Do you cover Netley Marsh and the area around Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes. Ashurst New Forest station is about 1.8 miles south of Netley Marsh, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
