Asbestos survey in Walhampton
Asbestos survey in Walhampton
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Walhampton, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. From buying a property built before 2000 and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we deal with soffits, pipe lagging and flues.
Village houses like those in Walhampton have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Walhampton questions
Do you work near Lymington Town station?
Yes. Lymington Town station is close to the centre of Walhampton, and we cover the whole area.
Do you cover small places like Walhampton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
After we have finished in Walhampton
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
