Asbestos survey for Brooks Green
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
For managing agents and freeholders in Brooks Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
About our asbestos survey in Brooks Green
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. Typical materials include floor tiles, garage roofs and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are planned refurbishment work and demolition and strip-out.
Village surveys around Brooks Green can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Brooks Green
Can you survey a school or hall near Brooks Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Brooks Green and the area around Billingshurst station?
Yes, we cover Brooks Green and the area towards Billingshurst station, about 2.6 miles west.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
What happens
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, which goes into the report. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope

Why people call us in Brooks Green
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
Typical jobs in Brooks Green include:
- Demolition projects
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Buying a property built before 2000
Schools such as Barns Green 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 normally where that starts.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report contents
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- How many samples are included
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
