Asbestos survey for Hale Green
For businesses and landlords in Hale Green
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If your business premises in Hale 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.
How asbestos survey works in Hale Green
About to refurbish in Hale Green? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. From buying a property built before 2000 and common parts of flats and HMOs, we deal with pipe lagging, flues and garage roofs and more.
Rural homes near Hale Green have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Choosing the right option
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 typically cheaper in the end. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Domestic and commercial work

Afterwards
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Hale Green: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Hale Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
How we price an asbestos survey
Quotes vary because of:
- Travel and parking
- Access to the area
- Material and condition
- How much sampling is needed
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An idea of size
- Visible markings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What happens
If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls

Getting ready
