Asbestos survey in Mid Lavant
Asbestos survey for Mid Lavant properties
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. Whether it’s managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and public and community buildings, we deal with textured ceilings, flues and garage roofs and more.
Village houses like those in Mid Lavant have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Mid Lavant
How far is Mid Lavant from London?
We cover Mid Lavant, about 53 miles from central London.
Do you work near Fishbourne station?
Yes, we cover Mid Lavant and the area towards Fishbourne station, about 2.7 miles south-west.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work in Mid Lavant?
We do: Mid Lavant is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen

What else we do in Mid Lavant
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Before we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Mention any damage before we arrive

For businesses and landlords in Mid Lavant
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Mid Lavant must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What happens next
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
