Asbestos survey near Sharpthorne
Buying an older property in Sharpthorne? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. We often deal with soffits, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and pre-purchase checks on older properties.
Rural homes near Sharpthorne have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sharpthorne, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work

Options to consider in Sharpthorne
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- The right survey for your plans
- Condition ratings, not just a list

Helpful guides
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not generally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is a survey needed before building work in Sharpthorne?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
