Asbestos survey in Roffey
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Roffey, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. We often deal with textured ceilings, flues and floor tiles, and typical jobs are schools, halls and community buildings and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
Roffey has a mix of older and newer homes, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Typical surveys in Roffey
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
For rented homes close to Littlehaven station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Options to consider in Roffey
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Reports and results you can share

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
Questions from Roffey
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Roffey?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Roffey from London?
Roffey is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
After we have finished in Roffey
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Once we’re done:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
