Asbestos survey for Aldwick
Asbestos survey for Aldwick properties
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, whichever fits your plans in Aldwick. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Whether it’s shops, offices and industrial units and rented homes between tenancies, we deal with textured ceilings, flues and pipe lagging.
Homes in areas like Aldwick range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues

Questions from Aldwick
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Aldwick?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How far is Aldwick from London?
We cover Aldwick, about 56 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey type
- How many different materials need sampling
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- The access route

Which option is right?
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you are comparing like with like. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

- Reports and results you can share

Where asbestos turns up
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Demolition projects
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Public and community buildings
If you let flats or houses near Bognor Regis station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Comparing quotes
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- How many samples are included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
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. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Dig out previous surveys

Duty holders and landlords in Aldwick
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Keeping things safe:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
