Asbestos survey near Pinewood Village
Asbestos survey for Pinewood Village properties
Not every older building in Pinewood Village contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you are in, so you can plan sensibly. People often contact us about refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and common parts of flats and HMOs, including water tanks, textured ceilings and soffits.
Homes in areas like Pinewood Village range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How we price an asbestos survey
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The size of the job
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Material and condition
- Access to the area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- An idea of size
- Damaged areas
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
Every job is quoted in writing. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details.
For businesses and landlords in Pinewood Village
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Common questions in Pinewood Village
Do you cover Pinewood Village and the area around Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, we cover Pinewood Village and the area towards Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 4.1 miles north.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Pinewood Village?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Common reasons for surveys in Pinewood Village
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Public and community buildings
For a school like Bordon Junior School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

What else we do in Pinewood Village
The scope of an asbestos survey
What’s in and what’s out:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
