After we’ve finished in Warnham
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
About our asbestos survey in Warnham
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Warnham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is typically the starting point. Whether it’s pre-purchase checks on older properties and rented homes due for maintenance, we deal with textured ceilings, soffits and floor tiles.
Around a village like Warnham, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Where asbestos turns up
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
In older properties, we often see:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition projects
Planning work on an older building in Warnham, whether near The Parish Church of St Margaret or elsewhere? Survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.

For businesses and landlords in Warnham
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If your business premises in Warnham were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Warnham: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Warnham homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Warnham may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Warnham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before booking:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job

Which option is right?
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. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
