Asbestos survey near Gossops Green
Asbestos survey for Gossops Green properties
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Gossops Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is usually the starting point. Typical jobs include checks on rental property and workplaces built before 2000, including textured ceilings, garage roofs and water tanks.
In a smaller place like Gossops Green, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If your business premises in Gossops Green were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- 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
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Gossops Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Gossops Green from London?
Gossops Green is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you survey a school or hall near Gossops Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do you work in Gossops Green?
Yes. We cover Gossops Green and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats normally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What it might be made of
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Keeping things safe:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Things not to do
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
