Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Asbestos survey in Albourne Green
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Albourne Green, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about shops, offices and industrial units and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, involving textured ceilings, flues and boiler cupboard panels.
Rural homes near Albourne Green have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We only recommend work that is needed.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What we deal with in Albourne Green
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Common situations in older properties include:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you manage lettings around Hassocks station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.

- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards

Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

What else we do in Albourne Green
Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Domestic and commercial work
- Recommendations in plain English
- Reports and results you can share
Read how we price jobs or the cost guide.
The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Dig out previous surveys

Albourne Green: your questions answered
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Albourne Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Albourne Green from London?
Albourne Green is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Should all asbestos be removed?
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.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
