Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
After the job
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
What else we do in Thorns Beach
FAQs for Thorns Beach
Is asbestos common in Thorns Beach homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Lymington Pier station?
Yes. Lymington Pier station is about 3.9 miles west of Thorns Beach, and we cover both.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
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. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What we deal with in Thorns Beach
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Community buildings and halls
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Workplaces built before 2000
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you are a landlord near Lymington Pier station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Before you book anyone
- The number of samples
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
Which option is right?
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you are comparing like with like. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Clear next steps
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Accredited laboratory results
Duty holders and landlords in Thorns Beach
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
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, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
What happens
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
How to prepare
- Dig out previous surveys
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
