About our asbestos survey in Spanish Green
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 tell you which suits your plans in Spanish Green. People often contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and rented homes between tenancies, including flues, pipe lagging and soffits.
Rural homes near Spanish Green have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Step by step
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Spanish Green questions
Could my house in Spanish Green 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 Spanish Green can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Spanish Green and the area around Bramley (Hants) station?
Yes. Bramley (Hants) station is about 2.3 miles west of Spanish Green, and we cover both.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

So you know what to expect:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Why people call us in Spanish Green
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 gives them that information.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
Non-domestic buildings, Daneshill School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
Before you book anyone
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What you will receive in writing
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Duty holders and landlords in Spanish Green
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If your business premises in Spanish Green were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Options to consider in Spanish Green
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
