Asbestos survey for Tower Hill properties
About to refurbish in Tower Hill? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Whether it’s demolition projects and workplaces built before 2000, we deal with garage roofs, pipe lagging and soffits and more.
Village houses like those in Tower Hill have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Duty holders and landlords in Tower Hill
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite 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.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Why people call us in Tower Hill
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Planned refurbishment work
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Common parts of flats and HMOs

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

FAQs for Tower Hill
Do you cover Tower Hill from London?
We cover Tower Hill, about 33 miles from central London.
Can you survey a school or hall near Tower Hill?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Do you work in Tower Hill?
We do: Tower Hill is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What does licensed work mean?
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.

Which option is right?
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Work done to the regulations
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Looking after things afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
