Asbestos survey in Liss
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Liss, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

FAQs for Liss
Do you cover Liss from London?
Liss is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it

What else we do in Liss
Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Typical surveys in Liss
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
In older properties, we often see:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Public and community buildings
A school such as Liss Infant School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
