Asbestos survey in Hinton Ampner
Asbestos survey near Hinton Ampner
Planning building work in Hinton Ampner? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. We often deal with water tanks, floor tiles and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are rented homes due for maintenance and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects.
Rural homes near Hinton Ampner have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What’s included, and what isn’t
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Surveys around Hinton Ampner
Hinton Ampner is about 7 miles east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Hinton Ampner is within our Hampshire area, whatever the size of the job. We work in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. Our area stretches from Hinton Ampner to Southampton (about 14 miles away).
Schools such as Cheriton Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
What happens
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
Getting a price
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

FAQs for Hinton Ampner
Is asbestos common in Hinton Ampner homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hinton Ampner can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Hinton Ampner from London?
Hinton Ampner is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
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 get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition and strip-out
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Buying a property built before 2000

- Whether VAT is included
- What the report or result will contain
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
