Asbestos survey near Pagham
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Getting ready
- Tell us about parking and access
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Helpful guides
Asbestos survey near Pagham
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Pagham, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. We often deal with soffits, pipe lagging and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are community buildings and halls and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
Village properties around Pagham often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Options to consider in Pagham
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Why people call us in Pagham
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there is no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
These are some of the things we deal with in Pagham:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition projects
- Rented homes due for maintenance
Non-domestic buildings, Rose Green Infant School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is typically where that starts.

Towns and villages near Pagham
Pagham: your questions answered
Do you cover Pagham and the area around Bognor Regis station?
Yes, we cover Pagham and the area towards Bognor Regis station, about 3.2 miles north-east.
Do you cover small places like Pagham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is a survey needed before building work in Pagham?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
A few practical points:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Survey first, then book the trades
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
