Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Asbestos survey near Framfield

Common reasons for surveys in Framfield
The danger normally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
In older properties, we often see:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition projects
Non-domestic buildings, Framfield Church of England Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Work done to the regulations
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Domestic and commercial work
- Records for your files
