Asbestos survey for Cocking Causeway
What’s included, and what isn’t
Worth knowing before booking:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

Cocking Causeway questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Cocking Causeway?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover small places like Cocking Causeway?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.

Your options compared
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Practical recommendations
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Accredited laboratory results
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
For managing agents and freeholders in Cocking Causeway, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
