The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Public and community buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Pre-work surveys for trades
Got an older property in Shoreham, close to Church of St Peter and St Paul or further out? Survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- How many samples are included
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What the report or result will contain
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After we’ve finished:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Book the survey before booking builders
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in Shoreham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- Travel and parking
- The survey type
- The size of the job
- How much sampling is needed
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The access route
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Not sure what you need? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will advise.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Which option is right?
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Accredited laboratory results
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Shoreham: your questions answered
Do older homes in Shoreham have asbestos?
If your home in Shoreham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Shoreham from London?
We cover Shoreham, about 16 miles from central London.
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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
