Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Questions from Tide Mills
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Tide Mills?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover small places like Tide Mills?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Tide Mills?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do you cover Tide Mills?

Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Step by step
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Preparing for the visit
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

For businesses and landlords in Tide Mills
If you manage or own a block in Tide Mills, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Common reasons for surveys in Tide Mills
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Planned refurbishment work
- Demolition and strip-out
If you let flats or houses near Bishopstone (Sussex) station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Before you book anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The report contents
- Whether extra samples cost more
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
After we have finished:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
