DIY and asbestos

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

How asbestos survey works in Wickham

An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Wickham, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. People often contact us about kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, including textured ceilings, garage roofs and floor tiles.

A survey in Wickham typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. We only recommend work that is needed.

Limits to be aware of

Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:

A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning

Questions from Wickham

Do you cover Wickham from London?

Wickham is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.

Can you survey a school or hall near Wickham?

Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.

How can I get a price?

Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.

Is asbestos dangerous?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

What happens next

After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.

After the job, keep these in mind:

For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed

Avoid these

Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

What happens

For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.

Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear

Preparing for the visit

Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Clear access to the area, loft or garage
Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Tell us what you need

Which asbestos survey do I need?

Typical surveys in Wickham

You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.

These come up again and again:

Workplaces built before 2000
Rented homes due for maintenance
The communal parts of blocks of flats
Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects

Altering an older house in Wickham, wherever it is? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

How to choose an asbestos contractor

Materials we deal with

Roofing felt and bitumen

Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.

Pipe lagging

Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.

Asbestos surveys in Wickham: local notes

Wickham is about 3 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. We work across Wickham and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. We work in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 9 miles away.

For a school like Wickham Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. If you manage lettings around Fareham station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

For surveys in PO17, just send the postcode and a few photos. Your property could be on The Square, Station Road and Bridge Street, wherever it is in Wickham. You’ll find Wickham on the A32 and A334, which makes it simple to get to. If your property is just outside Wickham, we also cover Shedfield (1 mile north-west), Shirrell Heath (2 miles north), Kingsmead (2 miles north-east), Woodend (2 miles north-east) and Mislingford (2 miles north). We also cover nearby towns such as Winchester (12 miles north-west), Gosport (7 miles south), Havant (9 miles east), Eastleigh (8 miles north-west), Fareham (3 miles south) and Horndean (8 miles east).

Well-known places in the area include Fareham Shopping Centre (3.2 miles south) and Carron Row Farm Museum (3.5 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include St Clair's Meadow and Portsdown Hill.

Local pubs include The Old House Hotel (less than half a mile west)

For businesses and landlords in Wickham

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wickham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Your options compared

An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
