Asbestos survey near Burgess Hill
A survey is not 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 garage roofs, soffits and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are checks on rental property and schools, halls and community buildings.
Surveys in a town like Burgess Hill are often triggered by a sale, a refurbishment or a landlord’s maintenance plan. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
For businesses and landlords in Burgess Hill
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Burgess Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.

- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging

Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Burgess Hill
Do older homes in Burgess Hill have asbestos?
If your home in Burgess Hill 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.
Can you survey a school or hall near Burgess Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
