Questions from Linchmere
Do you come out to small villages like Linchmere?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Linchmere and the area around Liphook station?
Yes, we cover Linchmere and the area towards Liphook station, about 1.4 miles west.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not normally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How asbestos survey works in Linchmere
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Linchmere. We often deal with water tanks, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and people typically contact us about community buildings and halls and rented homes between tenancies.
Rural homes near Linchmere have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Linchmere were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How many different materials need sampling
- Parking and access charges
- How many outbuildings are included
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Where we could park
- An idea of size
- The access route
Include any existing survey or test when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.
Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why people choose us
- Records for your files
- Work done to the regulations
- Every main survey type
- Each material’s condition recorded

What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before booking:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

What we deal with in Linchmere
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
Schools such as Woolmer Hill School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Areas included and excluded
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
