Duty holders and landlords in Midhurst
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Asbestos survey for Midhurst properties
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Whether it’s checks on rental property and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we cover flues, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings and more.
A survey in Midhurst typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How many outbuildings are included
- The size of the job
- The type of material and its condition
- How much sampling is needed
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- Damaged areas
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Where we could park
For a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
Midhurst: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Midhurst homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Your options compared
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Each material’s condition recorded
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Domestic and commercial work

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically well bound in.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Survey first, then book the trades
Things not to do
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Where asbestos turns up
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
These come up again and again:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Demolition and strip-out
- Rented homes due for maintenance
If you have an older property in Midhurst, near Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether extra samples cost more
