Asbestos survey in Ebernoe
How asbestos survey works in Ebernoe
If you are buying a home or building in Ebernoe from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. People often contact us about shops, offices and industrial units and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, including water tanks, textured ceilings and soffits.
In a village like Ebernoe, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Ebernoe questions
Do you come out to small villages like Ebernoe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Ebernoe from London?
We cover Ebernoe, about 39 miles from central London.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

Options to consider in Ebernoe
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

The process
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. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Dig out previous surveys
- Make sure we can get to the area

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Common reasons for surveys in Ebernoe
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That’s why so many buildings in West Sussex can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.

- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition and strip-out

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
