Asbestos survey for Jevington
How we work
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Getting ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move things out of the way carefully

How asbestos survey works in Jevington
If you are buying a home or building in Jevington from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. People often contact us about public and community buildings and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, involving textured ceilings, pipe lagging and soffits.
Village houses like those in Jevington have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

After we have finished in Jevington
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
To avoid problems in future:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

What we deal with in Jevington
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Checks on rental property
- Public and community buildings
A school such as Willingdon Community School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.
What to look for in a quote
- Areas included and excluded
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Reports and results you can share
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Practical recommendations

Common questions in Jevington
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Polegate station?
Yes, we cover Jevington and the area towards Polegate station, about 2.3 miles north-east.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
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 it costs
Prices vary with:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- How big the building is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
The scope of an asbestos survey
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
