Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- 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 plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Questions from Sayers Common
Do you cover Sayers Common and the area around Hassocks station?
Yes, we cover Sayers Common and the area towards Hassocks station, about 2.9 miles south-east.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Sayers Common?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is a survey needed before building work in Sayers Common?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
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.
Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
A few practical points:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
