Your questions about an asbestos survey in Greatham
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Greatham homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Greatham may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, 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.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Which option is right?
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why choose us
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Practical recommendations
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
