Asbestos survey near Pennington
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 tell you which suits your plans in Pennington. Whether it’s pre-work surveys for trades and planned refurbishment work, we deal with garage roofs, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Pennington has a mix of older and newer homes, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
How we work
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Your options compared
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Common questions in Pennington
Do you cover Pennington and the area around Lymington Town station?
Yes, we cover Pennington and the area towards Lymington Town station, about 1.2 miles north-east.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Pennington?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you cover Pennington?
Yes, we do: Pennington is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Where asbestos turns up
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Public and community buildings
- Demolition and strip-out
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
If you manage lettings around Lymington Town station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
