Asbestos survey in Leckford
For landlords and managing agents in Leckford, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. We often deal with pipe lagging, flues and water tanks, and people typically contact us about checks on rental property and demolition and strip-out.
In a village like Leckford, 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. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Questions from Leckford
Do you cover small places like Leckford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Leckford from London?
We cover Leckford, about 64 miles from central London.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Leckford?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
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 ask for advice.
Why people call us in Leckford
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Hampshire can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition projects
- Surveys requested by builders before work
If you have an older property in Leckford, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Leckford, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
How it works
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Before we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Dig out previous surveys
- Mention any parking restrictions
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

What’s included, and what is not
Before booking, note that:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- 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 plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen

- Artex and textured coatings
What it costs
Prices vary with:

- How much sampling is needed
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A close-up from a safe distance
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not typically take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
