About our asbestos survey in Sidlesham
Any building in Sidlesham 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. From rented homes due for maintenance and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, soffits and floor tiles and more.
Village properties around Sidlesham often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

If you’re a landlord near Chichester station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs. Schools such as Sidlesham Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. Sidlesham is within about 4 miles of the coast; porch canopies and soffits on coastal homes can be included in a survey.

FAQs for Sidlesham
Do you come out to small villages like Sidlesham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Sidlesham from London?
We cover Sidlesham, about 58 miles from central London.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Do you cover Sidlesham?
We do: Sidlesham is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not typically sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
How we work
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the work area
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Warn neighbours if needed

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in Sidlesham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
