Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and water tanks, and people normally contact us about demolition and strip-out and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms.
Village surveys around Littleworth can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Staying safe afterwards:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Book the survey before booking builders
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

What else we do in Littleworth
The scope of an asbestos survey
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- Areas we cannot 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
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
Your options compared
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

What it might be made of
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
What affects the price in Littleworth
The cost depends on:
- Travel and parking
- The number of materials to sample
- The size and age of the building
- How much there is
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
For a quick quote, include:
- Labels, if any
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Where we could park
Not sure what you need? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.
Littleworth: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Littleworth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Littleworth contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Littleworth may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Do you cover Littleworth?
We do: Littleworth is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
