How asbestos survey works in Felbridge
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Felbridge. Typical jobs include common parts of flats and HMOs and workplaces built before 2000, including floor tiles, textured ceilings and soffits.
Village houses like those in Felbridge have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Why people call us in Felbridge
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.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Demolition projects
If you’re a landlord near East Grinstead station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Duty holders and landlords in Felbridge
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Places near Felbridge
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After we have finished:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Questions from Felbridge
Can you survey a school or hall near Felbridge?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work near East Grinstead station?
Yes. East Grinstead station is about 1.6 miles south-east of Felbridge, and we cover both.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
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 are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
Do you cover Felbridge?
We do: our area includes Felbridge and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
