About our asbestos survey in Liss Forest
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Liss Forest, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. We often deal with water tanks, pipe lagging and textured ceilings, and people generally contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms.
Rural homes near Liss Forest have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

- Checks on rental property
- Buying a property built before 2000

The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too

For businesses and landlords in Liss Forest
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Liss Forest is about 4 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Liss Forest is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Liss Forest is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. We work right across the region, from Liss Forest to Guildford (19 miles away).

Non-domestic buildings, Liss Infant School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. Liss Forest is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
The process
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Liss Forest
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Liss Forest from London?
We cover Liss Forest, about 46 miles from central London.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
