Asbestos help in Loxwood
How asbestos survey works in Loxwood
Our surveys in Loxwood cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. From surveys requested by builders before work and pre-purchase checks on older properties, we deal with pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings and more.
Village houses like those in Loxwood have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Places near Loxwood
Why people call us in Loxwood
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition and strip-out
Schools such as Loxwood Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.

Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Records for your files
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys

Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Loxwood, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Loxwood: your questions answered
Could my house in Loxwood contain asbestos?
If your home in Loxwood was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey a school or hall near Loxwood?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you work in Loxwood?
Yes, Loxwood is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Some practical advice:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Parking and access charges
- The survey type
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- Street parking nearby
- A picture of the whole area
- Approximate dimensions
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
You will get a written quote. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
