About our asbestos survey in Crabtree
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Crabtree must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is typically the starting point. People often contact us about schools, halls and community buildings and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, including pipe lagging, water tanks and textured ceilings.
In a village like Crabtree, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Choosing the right option
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

How it works
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Dig out previous surveys
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What affects the price in Crabtree
What drives the price:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How many outbuildings are included
- The quantity or area
- The survey scope
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A rough size or measurement
- Visible markings
- An overall view
- Cracks or breaks
Send us the address in Crabtree, a description and some photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we will reply with a quote.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Crabtree
Do you come out to small villages like Crabtree?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Crabtree and the area around Horsham station?
Yes. Horsham station is about 4.6 miles north-west of Crabtree, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
