Asbestos survey near Hurstpierpoint
Asbestos survey near Hurstpierpoint
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Hurstpierpoint must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is generally the starting point. From shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and buying a property built before 2000, we deal with floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs and more.
Hurstpierpoint has a mix of older and newer homes, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas

Common questions in Hurstpierpoint
Do older homes in Hurstpierpoint have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hurstpierpoint may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Hassocks station?
Yes. Hassocks station is about 1.5 miles south-east of Hurstpierpoint, and we cover both.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you cover Hurstpierpoint?
Yes, we do: our area includes Hurstpierpoint and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Why people call us in Hurstpierpoint
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
In older properties, we often see:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Demolition and strip-out
Non-domestic buildings, St Lawrence CofE Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before booking

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.

What we do and don’t cover

- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
