About our asbestos survey in St Mary Bourne
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across St Mary Bourne. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical jobs include demolition and strip-out and schools, halls and community buildings, including flues, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
Village houses like those in St Mary Bourne have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Book the survey before you book builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Do you cover St Mary Bourne and the area around Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?

Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

Where asbestos turns up
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Demolition projects
For a school like St Mary Bourne Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- VAT, clearly stated
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Survey methods in line with HSG264

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
