Asbestos survey near New Copse
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in New Copse. Typical jobs include shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and checks on rental property, involving garage roofs, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels.
Village surveys around New Copse can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Getting ready
- Clear the way to the work area
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, 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
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in New Copse
Do you work near Alton station?
Yes, we cover New Copse and the area towards Alton station, about 4.3 miles east.
Can you survey a school or hall near New Copse?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

For businesses and landlords in New Copse
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.

Common reasons for surveys in New Copse
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
Typical jobs in New Copse include:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Public and community buildings
- Demolition projects
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
Non-domestic buildings, Medstead Church of England Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
