Your options compared
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Asbestos survey in Hampton
Buying an older property in Hampton? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. People often contact us about buying a property built before 2000 and pre-work surveys for trades, involving garage roofs, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Properties in areas like Hampton have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Planning work on an older building in Hampton, whether near All Saints' Hampton or elsewhere? Get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up. A school such as Hampton Infant School and Nursery counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Common questions in Hampton
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Hampton?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Hampton and the area around Hampton station?
Yes, we cover Hampton and the area towards Hampton station, about 0.5 miles south.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
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.
The process
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Clear the way to the work area
- Tell us about parking and access

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What we deal with in Hampton
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. Typical situations are:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
If you are a landlord near Hampton station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
