About our asbestos survey in Halnaker
Our surveys in Halnaker cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Whether it’s public and community buildings and demolition and strip-out, we deal with floor tiles, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Rural homes near Halnaker have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Why people call us in Halnaker
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
In older properties, we often see:
- Demolition projects
- Planned refurbishment work
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Buying a property built before 2000
For rented homes close to Chichester station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Questions to ask before booking
- The number of samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What the report or result will contain
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
For businesses and landlords in Halnaker
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Weighing up your options
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Surveys around Halnaker
Halnaker is about 3 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Halnaker is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Halnaker is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We work right across the region, from Halnaker to Brighton (about 25 miles away).
If you have an older property in Halnaker, near The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. For a school like Boxgrove CofE Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. The sea is within about 6 miles of Halnaker, and coastal properties often have porches, canopies and outbuildings that a survey can include.
We carry out surveys all over PO18 and the streets around it. We can help with surveys on streets such as The Street, Stame Road and Oakford Park, wherever it is in Halnaker. Close by, we cover Boxgrove (1 mile south), Waterbeach (1 mile west), Tangmere (1 mile south), Strettington (1 mile south-west) and Westerton (1 mile west). We also cover nearby towns such as Worthing (14 miles east), Bognor Regis (5 miles south), Chichester (3 miles south-west), Selsey (10 miles south), Littlehampton (9 miles south-east) and Emsworth (10 miles west).
Nearby you will also find Chichester Centre (2.9 miles south-west) and The Chichester City Museum (3.4 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Levin Down.
Questions from Halnaker
Do you come out to small villages like Halnaker?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Chichester station?
Yes, we cover Halnaker and the area towards Chichester station, about 3.8 miles south-west.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
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.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats usually do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Do you cover Halnaker?
We do: Halnaker is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Getting a price

The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
