FAQs for Deadwater
Do you work near Liphook station?
Yes, we cover Deadwater and the area towards Liphook station, about 3.6 miles south-east.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.

Do you work in Deadwater?
Yes. We cover Deadwater and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
You can’t tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We sample it and have it analysed.

If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Choosing the right option
Testing first is cheaper than stopping work mid-job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
