Looking after things afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

About our asbestos survey in Findon Valley
Before you buy, build or let in Findon Valley, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Typical jobs include surveys requested by builders before work and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, including soffits, flues and boiler cupboard panels.
A survey in Findon Valley typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

What we deal with in Findon Valley
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Community buildings and halls
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
Non-domestic buildings, Vale School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.
Comparing quotes
- Whether extra samples cost more
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Areas included and excluded
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Findon Valley questions
How far is Findon Valley from London?
Findon Valley is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Findon Valley contain asbestos?
If your home in Findon Valley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
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.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
