Asbestos survey for Marehill
How asbestos survey works in Marehill
If you are buying a home or building in Marehill from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. From checks on rental property and purchases of older homes and buildings, we cover textured ceilings, soffits and flues and more.
Rural homes near Marehill have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Choosing the right option
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Clear next steps
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Limits to be aware of
Before booking, note that:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Travel and parking
- The type of survey you need
- How many outbuildings are included
- The type of material and its condition
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A clear close-up
- Damaged areas
- Approximate dimensions
You’ll get a written quote. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details.
Marehill questions
How far is Marehill from London?
Marehill is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Marehill homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Marehill may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Marehill?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What we deal with in Marehill
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in West Sussex can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
These are some of the things we deal with in Marehill:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Planned refurbishment work
- Demolition and strip-out
- Public and community buildings
Non-domestic buildings, St Mary's Church of England Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
Comparing quotes
- The number of samples
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- What you will receive in writing
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
