Asbestos survey for Partridge Green properties
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Partridge Green. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. People often contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and checks on rental property, involving soffits, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles.
Around a village like Partridge Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- The number of materials to sample
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The size of the job
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

What it might be made of
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If your business premises in Partridge Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. 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.

What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
A few practical points:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Typical surveys in Partridge Green
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That’s why so many buildings in West Sussex can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Demolition and strip-out
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
For a school like Jolesfield CofE Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
