Asbestos survey in Salvington
Plenty of older buildings, in Salvington as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you are in, so you can plan sensibly. Typical jobs include rented homes due for maintenance and demolition and strip-out, including garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings.
Homes in places like Salvington range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Duty holders and landlords in Salvington
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
The process
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

FAQs for Salvington
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Salvington from London?
Salvington is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How we price an asbestos survey
We base our quote on:
- Parking and access charges
- How many outbuildings are included
- How many different materials need sampling
- The building’s size and layout
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Cracks or breaks
- How we’d reach it
- A clear close-up
- An overall view
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Weighing up your options
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why choose us
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Practical recommendations
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Staying safe afterwards:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
