Asbestos survey near Broadbridge
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Broadbridge. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and water tanks, and people typically contact us about planned refurbishment work and common parts of flats and HMOs.
Around a village like Broadbridge, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why people choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Houses, flats and business premises
- The right survey for your plans
- Practical recommendations

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before booking builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Don’ts
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How many samples are needed
- How many different materials need sampling
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
- An overall view
- An idea of size
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Common questions in Broadbridge
Do you cover small places like Broadbridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you survey a school or hall near Broadbridge?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Broadbridge?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Common reasons for surveys in Broadbridge
The danger normally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Demolition projects
- Workplaces built before 2000
Schools such as Bosham Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
