Asbestos survey in Storrington
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
How asbestos survey works in Storrington
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Storrington, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about checks on rental property and purchases of older homes and buildings, involving floor tiles, pipe lagging and flues.
In a smaller place like Storrington, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Questions from Storrington
Do you cover Storrington from London?
Storrington is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Storrington?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
For businesses and landlords in Storrington
For managing agents and freeholders in Storrington, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Helpful guides
What we deal with in Storrington
Materials age: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
For a school like Storrington Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.
What to look for in a quote
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- How many samples are included
- The report contents
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
What’s included, and what isn’t
Before you book, note that:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Which option is right?
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
