Asbestos survey for Strettington
Asbestos survey near Strettington
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Typical jobs include managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and the communal parts of blocks of flats, involving garage roofs, flues and soffits.
Around a village like Strettington, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- Parking and access charges
- The number of materials to sample
- How much there is
- The survey type
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- Damaged areas
- Approximate dimensions
- Visible markings
- A clear close-up
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Questions from Strettington
Do you cover small places like Strettington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Strettington?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Strettington?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings

What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Going forward:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.

We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, which goes into the report. It helps if we can park nearby.
