About our asbestos survey in Twineham
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Twineham. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Whether it’s workplaces built before 2000 and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we deal with textured ceilings, soffits and garage roofs and more.
Village surveys around Twineham can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you manage or own a block in Twineham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Your options compared
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What you get
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- The right survey for your plans
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Common reasons for surveys in Twineham
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Checks on rental property
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Shops, offices and industrial units
Schools such as Twineham CofE Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
What to look for in a quote
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether extra samples cost more
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Areas included and excluded

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Common questions in Twineham
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Burgess Hill station?
Yes. Burgess Hill station is about 3.7 miles east of Twineham, and we cover both.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

- How much sampling is needed
