Asbestos survey for Kimpton
Why people call us in Kimpton
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 gives them that information.
These are some of the things we deal with in Kimpton:
- Community buildings and halls
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition projects
- Surveys requested by builders before work
For rented homes close to Grateley station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

How asbestos survey works in Kimpton
The type of survey you need in Kimpton depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll recommend the right one. Typical jobs include buying a property built before 2000 and rented homes between tenancies, including water tanks, textured ceilings and flues.
Around a village like Kimpton, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

DIY and asbestos
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.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Helpful guides
For businesses and landlords in Kimpton
For managing agents and freeholders in Kimpton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Going forward:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
How we price an asbestos survey
Quotes vary because of:
- The building’s size and layout
- How many different materials need sampling
- How many outbuildings are included
- The size of the job
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Kimpton questions
Do you come out to small villages like Kimpton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Kimpton and the area around Grateley station?
Yes. Grateley station is about 3.9 miles south of Kimpton, and we cover both.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
