About our asbestos survey in Maudlin
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Maudlin must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is normally the starting point. Whether it’s rented homes between tenancies and buying a property built before 2000, we cover floor tiles, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels and more.
In a village like Maudlin, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Typical surveys in Maudlin
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Shops, offices and industrial units

Common questions in Maudlin
How far is Maudlin from London?
Maudlin is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you survey a school or hall near Maudlin?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Do you work in Maudlin?
Yes. We cover Maudlin and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Your options compared
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.

- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph

Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
