Asbestos survey near North Boarhunt
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it

Asbestos survey in North Boarhunt
Not every older building in North Boarhunt contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you’re in, so you can plan sensibly. Common materials are floor tiles, textured ceilings and soffits, and people generally contact us about planned refurbishment work and public and community buildings.
In a village like North Boarhunt, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

North Boarhunt: your questions answered
Do you cover North Boarhunt and the area around Portchester station?
Yes, we cover North Boarhunt and the area towards Portchester station, about 3.3 miles south.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around North Boarhunt?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What we deal with in North Boarhunt
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Demolition projects
- Public and community buildings
- Buying a property built before 2000
Schools such as Newtown Soberton Infant School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

- Suitable insurance for the work

Options to consider in North Boarhunt
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
