After we’ve finished in South Mundham
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once we’re done:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Asbestos surveys in South Mundham: local notes

If you manage lettings around Chichester station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance. For a school like North Mundham Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register. South Mundham is within about 4 miles of the coast, and coastal properties often have porches, canopies and outbuildings that a survey can include.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
South Mundham: your questions answered
Do you cover South Mundham from London?
South Mundham is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Chichester station?
Yes. Chichester station is about 2.5 miles north-west of South Mundham, and we cover both.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
