Asbestos survey near Apuldram
How asbestos survey works in Apuldram
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Apuldram, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Whether it’s rented homes due for maintenance and surveys requested by builders before work, we deal with floor tiles, textured ceilings and garage roofs and more.
Village surveys around Apuldram can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once we are done:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Apuldram, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Apuldram, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
What affects the price in Apuldram
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How many outbuildings are included
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Cracks or breaks
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Approximate dimensions

What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see

- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Apuldram
Can you survey a school or hall near Apuldram?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work near Chichester station?
Yes, we cover Apuldram and the area towards Chichester station, about 1.2 miles north-east.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not normally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Typical surveys in Apuldram
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Public and community buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
For a school like Fishbourne CofE Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you will receive in writing
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Which areas and materials are covered
