For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Pease Pottage were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
About our asbestos survey in Pease Pottage
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Pease Pottage. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Whether it’s pre-work surveys for trades and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we deal with water tanks, soffits and textured ceilings and more.
Pease Pottage has a mix of older and newer homes, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Step by step
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.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Getting ready
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Where asbestos turns up
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Public and community buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes due for maintenance
If you let flats or houses near Crawley station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

After we have finished in Pease Pottage
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
A few practical points:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition
- Travel and parking
- The survey type
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The parking area
- How we’d reach it
- Visible markings
- An overall view

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Pease Pottage
Do you work near Crawley station?
Yes. Crawley station is about 2 miles north of Pease Pottage, and we cover both.
Do you cover Pease Pottage from London?
We cover Pease Pottage, about 29 miles from central London.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically take samples for analysis. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.

Weighing up your options
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
