About our asbestos survey in Mannings Heath
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Mannings Heath, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Common materials are water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings, and people normally contact us about buying a property built before 2000 and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
Rural homes near Mannings Heath have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Do you work in Mannings Heath?
We do: our area includes Mannings Heath and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Common reasons for surveys in Mannings Heath
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
If you let flats or houses near Horsham station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Options to consider in Mannings Heath
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
How we work in Mannings Heath
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Clear next steps
See how we price jobs and the cost guide.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
After we have finished in Mannings Heath
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Mannings Heath must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
