Brunswick buildings and asbestos surveys
Brunswick is about 1 mile south-west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We work across Brunswick and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Brunswick is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove we cover.
For a school like St Mary Magdalen Catholic Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is generally where that starts. If you are a landlord near Brighton station, a survey gives contractors the information they need. Brunswick is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.

Brunswick: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Brunswick?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Brunswick from London?
Brunswick is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Can I do it myself?

What affects the price in Brunswick
Every quote reflects:
- The quantity or area
- The survey type
- How many outbuildings are included
- Material and condition
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- Street parking nearby
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
After we have finished in Brunswick
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Brunswick, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
How it works
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- 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
Before we arrive
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Clear the way to the work area
