- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Keeping things safe:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Checks on rental property
- Shops, offices and industrial units

Questions from Billingshurst
Do you cover Billingshurst and the area around Billingshurst station?
Yes, we cover Billingshurst, including the streets around Billingshurst station.
Do older homes in Billingshurst have asbestos?
Any home in Billingshurst built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
- 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
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
