Asbestos survey in Hambledon
About to refurbish in Hambledon? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Typical jobs include surveys requested by builders before work and community buildings and halls, including pipe lagging, water tanks and flues.
Village surveys around Hambledon can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Hambledon, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Which option is right?
Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

What’s included, and what isn’t
Worth knowing before booking:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- The number of materials to sample
- How easy it is to reach
- How many samples are needed
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A picture of the whole area

Hambledon: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Hambledon homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hambledon can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Hambledon from London?
Hambledon is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do you work in Hambledon?
Yes, we do: Hambledon is within the area we cover in Surrey. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
