Asbestos survey for Kempshott
About our asbestos survey in Kempshott
If you are buying a home or building in Kempshott from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are pre-purchase checks on older properties and public and community buildings.
In areas like Kempshott, surveys normally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

After we’ve finished in Kempshott
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Some practical advice:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Kempshott
Do you cover Kempshott and the area around Basingstoke station?
Yes. Basingstoke station is about 2.8 miles north-east of Kempshott, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Kempshott homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Kempshott may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Kempshott?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
Which option is right?
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 generally cheaper in the end. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What you get
- Practical recommendations
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
