Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before you book builders
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
How asbestos survey works in Monk's Gate
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Monk's Gate. Common materials are garage roofs, floor tiles and water tanks, and people usually contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and rented homes due for maintenance.
Village houses like those in Monk's Gate have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Typical surveys in Monk's Gate
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
If you manage lettings around Horsham station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
What your quote should include

- Which areas and materials are covered

Prices and what affects them
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:

Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- 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 isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
Monk's Gate: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Monk's Gate?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Monk's Gate and the area around Horsham station?
Yes, we cover Monk's Gate and the area towards Horsham station, about 2.6 miles north-west.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
DIY and asbestos
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: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Which option is right?
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally well bound in.
How it works
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. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
