Common questions in St Leonards
Can you survey a school or hall near St Leonards?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Which asbestos survey do I need in St Leonards?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
Is a survey needed before building work in St Leonards?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Where asbestos turns up
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Community buildings and halls
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Shops, offices and industrial units
Schools such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
