Asbestos help in Langley Green
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
About our asbestos survey in Langley Green
Planning building work in Langley Green? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. People often contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and public and community buildings, involving flues, garage roofs and floor tiles.
In Langley Green, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Langley Green: your questions answered
Do older homes in Langley Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Langley Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Langley Green from London?
We cover Langley Green, about 26 miles from central London.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
For businesses and landlords in Langley Green
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Going forward:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
What affects the price in Langley Green
We base our quote on:
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
- How much sampling is needed
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Labels, if any
- Approximate dimensions
- Cracks or breaks
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Why people call us in Langley Green
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across West Sussex can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Public and community buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition projects
For a school like Langley Green Primary, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- VAT, clearly stated
- The report contents
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
