Asbestos survey in Pyecombe
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. From contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and community buildings and halls, we deal with floor tiles, textured ceilings and flues.
In a village like Pyecombe, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Pyecombe buildings and asbestos surveys
Pyecombe is about 4 miles south of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Pyecombe is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Pyecombe is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover.
Non-domestic buildings, Downlands Community School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos. Planning work on an older building in Pyecombe, whether near Church of the Transfiguration or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. Parts of the South Downs National Park are within about 3 miles of Pyecombe, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common. The sea is within about 6 miles of Pyecombe, and coastal properties often have porches, canopies and outbuildings that a survey can include.
We cover surveys across BN45. Streets in the area include London Road, School Lane and Church Hill, and an asbestos survey is available on all of them. We also carry out surveys in Saddlescombe (1 mile south-west), Waterhall (2 miles south), Patcham (3 miles south), Westdene (3 miles south) and Hollingbury (3 miles south-east).

The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings

Questions from Pyecombe
Do you cover small places like Pyecombe?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Hassocks station?
Yes, we cover Pyecombe and the area towards Hassocks station, about 1.9 miles north-east.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
After we have finished in Pyecombe
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
A few practical points:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before you book builders
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
