Asbestos survey in Chilgrove
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Chilgrove. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. We often deal with boiler cupboard panels, flues and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are shops, offices and industrial units and common parts of flats and HMOs.
Rural homes near Chilgrove have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

How we price an asbestos survey
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The building’s size and layout
- The survey scope
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Weighing up your options
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Getting ready
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
Duty holders and landlords in Chilgrove
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Questions from Chilgrove
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How far is Chilgrove from London?
Chilgrove is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
