Asbestos survey for Chithurst
How asbestos survey works in Chithurst
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, soffits and water tanks, and typical jobs are schools, halls and community buildings and workplaces built before 2000.
In a village like Chithurst, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there is no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Rented homes due for maintenance
For a school like Stedham Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the report or result will contain
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether VAT is included
- The number of samples
Common questions in Chithurst
Can you survey a school or hall near Chithurst?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Do you cover Chithurst?
Yes, Chithurst is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The process
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Getting ready
- Let us know where we can park
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

After the job
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Some practical advice:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
