Asbestos help in Shripney
Common reasons for surveys in Shripney
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Rented homes between tenancies
Non-domestic buildings, Bersted Green Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

About our asbestos survey in Shripney
Any building in Shripney built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Common materials are garage roofs, textured ceilings and floor tiles, and typical jobs are schools, halls and community buildings and planned refurbishment work.
Village surveys around Shripney can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
FAQs for Shripney
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Shripney?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you come out to small villages like Shripney?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Shripney, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Some practical advice:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The building’s size and layout
- Parking and access charges
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Shripney buildings and asbestos surveys
Shripney is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We cover Shripney as part of West Sussex, for surveys of every size. Shripney is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we work. We work right across the region, from Shripney to Brighton (about 24 miles away).
If you have an older property in Shripney, near Holy Cross Church or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. If you are a landlord near Bognor Regis station, a survey gives contractors the information they need. The sea is within about 2 miles of Shripney, and coastal properties often have porches, canopies and outbuildings that a survey can include.
We carry out surveys all over PO22. Streets in the area include Shripney Lane, Shripney Road and The Marigolds, and an asbestos survey is available on all of them. Neighbouring places we cover include Lidsey (1 mile north-east), Flansham (2 miles east), Westergate (2 miles north), Aldingbourne (2 miles north) and Eastergate (2 miles north). We also cover nearby towns such as Worthing (12 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-west), Selsey (7 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles east), Lancing (15 miles east) and Emsworth (12 miles west).
Nearby you will also find Tote Copse Castle (1.8 miles north-west) and Bognor Regis Museum (2.1 miles south).
- Local schools include Felpham Community College (1.4 miles south-east) and The Regis School (1.5 miles south-west)
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Which option is right?
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
