About our asbestos survey in Broomershill
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Broomershill, a survey answers the asbestos question. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Typical jobs include common parts of flats and HMOs and community buildings and halls, involving boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and floor tiles.
Around a village like Broomershill, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We only recommend work that is needed.

Common questions in Broomershill
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Broomershill from London?
We cover Broomershill, about 41 miles from central London.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Typical surveys in Broomershill
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in West Sussex can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Schools such as St Mary's Church of England 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
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
