Asbestos survey near North Heath
North Heath: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in North Heath homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Pulborough station?
Yes. Pulborough station is about 2.4 miles south-west of North Heath, and we cover both.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Asbestos survey near North Heath
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. People often contact us about checks on rental property and demolition and strip-out, including pipe lagging, floor tiles and flues.
Village properties around North Heath often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

For businesses and landlords in North Heath

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
- How big the building is
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- The parking area
- An idea of size
- How we’d reach it
- Cracks or breaks
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Options to consider in North Heath
Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. Our guide explains which you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Every main survey type
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Condition ratings, not just a list
Read how we quote and published price ranges.
What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
The process
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, which goes into the report. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Getting ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition and strip-out
If you are a landlord near Pulborough station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
Comparing quotes
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The report contents
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether extra samples cost more
Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

- Cement sheets and cladding
