Asbestos survey for East Marden
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging

How asbestos survey works in East Marden
Before you buy, build or let in East Marden, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and schools, halls and community buildings, involving textured ceilings, pipe lagging and soffits.
Village houses like those in East Marden have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

East Marden questions
Do you cover small places like East Marden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work in East Marden?
Yes, we do: East Marden is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Which option is right?
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, which goes into the report. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you.

- We carry out the survey on site
- Samples go to the laboratory
