How asbestos survey works in Tangmere
Buying an older property in Tangmere? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. Typical jobs include purchases of older homes and buildings and demolition projects, including pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
Tangmere has a mix of older and newer homes, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

What else we do in Tangmere
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.
Some practical advice:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
What happens
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Do not disturb the material before we get there

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Choosing the right option
Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. Our guide explains which you need. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Recommendations in plain English
- Covering London and the South East
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed

For businesses and landlords in Tangmere
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Tangmere questions
How far is Tangmere from London?
Tangmere is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Tangmere contain asbestos?
If your home in Tangmere was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Tangmere?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Common reasons for surveys in Tangmere
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Non-domestic buildings, Tangmere Primary Academy among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
