Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Once we are done:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Common questions in Pickhurst
Could my house in Pickhurst contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Pickhurst can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Pulborough station?
Yes. Pulborough station is about 1.4 miles south of Pickhurst, and we cover both.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Pickhurst?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
