Asbestos survey near Standford
Planning building work in Standford? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Common materials are pipe lagging, water tanks and soffits, and typical jobs are kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
Village properties around Standford often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Common materials
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.

Questions from Standford
Is asbestos common in Standford homes?
Any home in Standford built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Standford and the area around Liphook station?
Yes, we cover Standford and the area towards Liphook station, about 2.9 miles south-east.
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Standford?
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. Tell us more and we will advise.
Do you work in Standford?
Yes, Standford is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
