Asbestos survey in Palestine
Asbestos survey near Palestine
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Palestine, a survey answers the asbestos question. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, soffits and garage roofs, and people typically contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises.
Village properties around Palestine often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Typical surveys in Palestine
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That’s why so many buildings in Hampshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Public and community buildings
- Demolition projects
A school such as Grateley Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
What your quote should include
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- VAT, clearly stated
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
Which option is right?
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Reports and results you can share
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Duty holders and landlords in Palestine
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
For managing agents and freeholders in Palestine, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Palestine: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Palestine?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Palestine contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Palestine can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not usually sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
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, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
- 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
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
