Your questions about an asbestos survey in East Hampnett
Do you cover East Hampnett and the area around Barnham station?
Yes, we cover East Hampnett and the area towards Barnham station, about 2.8 miles south-east.
Do you cover East Hampnett from London?
We cover East Hampnett, about 52 miles from central London.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Which asbestos survey do I need in East Hampnett?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Tell us more and we will advise.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How asbestos survey works in East Hampnett
Any building in East Hampnett built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Typical materials include garage roofs, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and people generally contact us about planned refurbishment work and rented homes due for maintenance.
Rural homes near East Hampnett have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of 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, which is why surveying first tends to save money. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

What we deal with in East Hampnett
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Non-domestic buildings, Tangmere Primary Academy among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include

- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
After we have finished in East Hampnett
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Some practical advice:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
How we price an asbestos survey
Every quote reflects:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How much there is
- How many samples are needed
- The size and age of the building
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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 begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the work area
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in East Hampnett, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
