Asbestos survey in Almodington
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Almodington must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is normally the starting point. Common materials are floor tiles, soffits and flues, and typical jobs are managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms.
Rural homes near Almodington have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

If you’re a landlord near Chichester station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs. Schools such as Birdham CE Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. The sea is within about 4 miles of Almodington; porch canopies and soffits on coastal homes can be included in a survey.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If your business premises in Almodington were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
A few practical points:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:

What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
