About our asbestos survey in Flansham
Not every older building in Flansham contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. People often contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and surveys requested by builders before work, involving water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs.
Rural homes near Flansham have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Where asbestos turns up
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across West Sussex can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition and strip-out
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
If you have an older property in Flansham, near Bilsham Chapel or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Flansham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Flansham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Flansham homes?
If your home in Flansham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
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’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
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.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Your options compared
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Flansham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
