Asbestos survey for Broadbridge Heath
Common reasons for surveys in Broadbridge Heath
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Community buildings and halls
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition and strip-out
A school such as Shelley Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What the report or result will contain
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Suitable insurance for the work
Asbestos survey for Broadbridge Heath properties
About to refurbish in Broadbridge Heath? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. From pre-purchase checks on older properties and demolition projects, we deal with flues, floor tiles and textured ceilings and more.
In a smaller place like Broadbridge Heath, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Broadbridge Heath questions
Could my house in Broadbridge Heath contain asbestos?
If your home in Broadbridge Heath was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Broadbridge Heath?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before you book builders
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Step by step
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, before going to an accredited laboratory. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move things out of the way carefully

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you run a business from older premises in Broadbridge Heath, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
