Asbestos survey for Empshott properties
Before you buy, build or let in Empshott, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, including boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and flues.
Village houses like those in Empshott have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Questions from Empshott
Do you cover Empshott from London?
We cover Empshott, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you work near Liss station?
Yes. Liss station is about 2.7 miles south-east of Empshott, and we cover both.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Empshott?
It depends on your plans: 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’ll advise.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you cover Empshott?
Yes. We cover Empshott and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common reasons for surveys in Empshott
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Community buildings and halls
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition projects
For rented homes close to Liss station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Before you book anyone
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- VAT, clearly stated
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
The process
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Places near Empshott
What else we do in Empshott
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
