What else we do in Regents Park
What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
A few practical points:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
What to avoid
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Common questions in Regents Park
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Regents Park?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
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.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is a survey needed before building work in Regents Park?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Where asbestos turns up
The danger normally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Checks on rental property
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Public and community buildings
If you’re a landlord near Millbrook (Hants) station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
What to look for in a quote
- Areas included and excluded
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What the report or result will contain
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
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, so you are comparing like with like. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

What we do and do not cover
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
