Planning work on an older building in East Worldham, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. A school such as Eggar's School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is typically where that starts.

FAQs for East Worldham
Do you cover East Worldham from London?
We cover East Worldham, about 44 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like East Worldham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Helpful guides
After we’ve finished in East Worldham
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Going forward:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
What’s included, and what is not
What’s in and what’s out:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
