Asbestos survey near Hempton
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Hempton. Whether it’s demolition and strip-out and workplaces built before 2000, we deal with soffits, water tanks and textured ceilings and more.
In a village like Hempton, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What we deal with in Hempton
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Demolition projects
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
Altering an older house in Hempton, wherever it is? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which areas and materials are covered
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- The number of samples
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
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.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

FAQs for Hempton
How far is Hempton from London?
We cover Hempton, about 63 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Hempton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats generally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Choosing the right option
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
