Asbestos survey near Hampton
Questions from Hampton
Do older homes in Hampton have asbestos?
If your home in Hampton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Hampton?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do you cover Hampton?
We do: Hampton is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Asbestos survey in Hampton
Any building in Hampton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. People often contact us about shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and rented homes between tenancies, involving flues, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
In towns and villages like Hampton, surveys normally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.

What we deal with in Hampton
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
Typical jobs in Hampton include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Community buildings and halls
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
For a school like Hampton Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is usually where that starts.

- The number of samples
- The scope, in writing

Which option is right?
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear next steps

After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
