Your options compared
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Work done to the regulations
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Asbestos survey near East Worthing
Managing agents and landlords in East Worthing use surveys so trades know what to avoid. Whether it’s pre-work surveys for trades and community buildings and halls, we deal with textured ceilings, floor tiles and flues and more.
In places like East Worthing, surveys typically cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Why people call us in East Worthing
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
Non-domestic buildings, Lyndhurst Infant School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- The scope of the job, in writing
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
After we have finished in East Worthing
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
How we work
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Let us know if something’s broken
Getting a price
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Helpful guides
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding

East Worthing: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in East Worthing homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near East Worthing station?
Yes. East Worthing station is about 0.6 miles north of East Worthing, and we cover both.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you work in East Worthing?
Yes, we do: our area includes East Worthing and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
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.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- The size and age of the building
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
- How easy it is to reach
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A picture of the whole area
- Approximate dimensions
