Asbestos survey near Lindford
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Lindford, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include community buildings and halls and rented homes due for maintenance, involving soffits, garage roofs and water tanks.
A survey in Lindford typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Lindford is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We work right across the region, from Lindford to Guildford (about 15 miles away).

Lindford is within about 5 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.

Can I do it myself?
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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The size of the job
- Travel and parking
- How many samples are needed
- The size and age of the building
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area
- A close-up from a safe distance
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- The right survey for your plans
- Clear next steps
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Work done to the regulations

What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
FAQs for Lindford
Do you cover Lindford and the area around Liphook station?
Yes. Liphook station is about 3.9 miles south-east of Lindford, and we cover both.
How far is Lindford from London?
We cover Lindford, about 42 miles from central London.
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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
