Asbestos survey near Lower Horsebridge
After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
A few practical points:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Lower Horsebridge
Do you work near Polegate station?
Yes. Polegate station is about 4.1 miles south of Lower Horsebridge, and we cover both.
Can you survey a school or hall near Lower Horsebridge?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings typically starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
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.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
