About our asbestos survey in Liphook
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Liphook, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Common materials are soffits, flues and pipe lagging, and people typically contact us about refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and schools, halls and community buildings.
In Liphook, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Liphook
How far is Liphook from London?
Liphook is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
Please don’t 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.

- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Liphook, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
