Asbestos survey in East Harting
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in East Harting, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. From pre-work surveys for trades and community buildings and halls, we cover boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and soffits.
Village surveys around East Harting can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
How we price an asbestos survey
The cost depends on:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How much sampling is needed
- Travel and parking
- The type of material and its condition
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials in East Harting
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
How we work in East Harting
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Each material’s condition recorded

Common questions in East Harting
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Petersfield station?
Yes, we cover East Harting and the area towards Petersfield station, about 4.1 miles north-west.
Do you cover East Harting?
Yes, East Harting is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
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, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
What we deal with in East Harting
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
A school such as Harting CofE Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
