How asbestos survey works in Bosham Hoe
For landlords and managing agents in Bosham Hoe, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. Typical materials include water tanks, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects.
Village houses like those in Bosham Hoe have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.

- How easy it is to reach

Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
After we have finished in Bosham Hoe
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Going forward:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

What else we do in Bosham Hoe
Where asbestos turns up
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
If you have an older property in Bosham Hoe, near The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere else, survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Recommendations in plain English
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Work done to the regulations

- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
