After we’ve finished in Upper Beeding
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Once we’re done:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.

How we price an asbestos survey
Prices vary with:
- How many samples are needed
- How many outbuildings are included
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey type
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
What to photograph:

- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Where we could park
You’ll get a written quote. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Upper Beeding
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Upper Beeding?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Upper Beeding and the area around Shoreham-By-Sea station?
Yes. Shoreham-By-Sea station is about 3.6 miles south of Upper Beeding, and we cover both.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Upper Beeding?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Upper Beeding?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Typical surveys in Upper Beeding
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there is no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
In older properties, we often see:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
A school such as Upper Beeding Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
