Asbestos survey near Glyndebourne
Asbestos survey in Glyndebourne
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Glyndebourne, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Common materials are water tanks, garage roofs and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are rented homes due for maintenance and workplaces built before 2000.
Village properties around Glyndebourne often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Glyndebourne must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Your options compared
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job

Can you help a business or landlord?

Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Glyndebourne?
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. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
How we price an asbestos survey
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How big the building is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
After we’ve finished in Glyndebourne
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
