I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do I need a test or a survey?

Asbestos surveys in Winchfield: local notes
Winchfield is about 3 miles west of Fleet, in Hampshire. If your survey is in Winchfield, let us know about access. We work in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire. Our area stretches from Winchfield to Reading (12 miles away).

The scope of an asbestos survey
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
What we deal with in Winchfield
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
In older properties, we often see:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Public and community buildings
Got an older property in Winchfield, close to Church of St Mary the Virgin or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
The process
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- 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
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Helpful guides
Options to consider in Winchfield
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
