Asbestos survey for Northney
Asbestos survey in Northney
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Northney. We often deal with garage roofs, pipe lagging and water tanks, and people generally contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
Around a village like Northney, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Helpful guides
Why people call us in Northney
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Checks on rental property
- Demolition projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
Schools such as Warblington School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

FAQs for Northney
Could my house in Northney contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Northney can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Northney?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
After we’ve finished in Northney
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Northney must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
