Asbestos survey for Kingsley
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
Asbestos survey near Kingsley
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Kingsley, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Whether it’s demolition and strip-out and rented homes due for maintenance, we deal with flues, water tanks and garage roofs and more.
In a village like Kingsley, 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 comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Surveys around Kingsley
Kingsley is about 4 miles east of Alton, in Hampshire. We cover Kingsley as part of Hampshire, whatever the size of the job. Kingsley is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 15 miles away.
If you have an older property in Kingsley, near Church of All Saints or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up. Non-domestic buildings, Mill Chase Academy among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is typically where that starts. Kingsley is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.

Why people call us in Kingsley
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Checks on rental property
- Planned refurbishment work
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Community buildings and halls
If you are a landlord near Bentley (Hampshire) station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
What your quote should include
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The report contents
- How many samples are included
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
Afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Things not to do
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Kingsley, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Accredited laboratory results

Kingsley questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Kingsley from London?
We cover Kingsley, about 42 miles from central London.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Is a survey needed before building work in Kingsley?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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 usually are not licensed.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How it works
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, which goes into the report. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
Getting a price
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
