Asbestos survey near West Lavington

Village houses like those in West Lavington have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

What we deal with in West Lavington
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Demolition projects
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Schools such as Midhurst CofE Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in West Lavington
Could my house in West Lavington contain asbestos?
If your home in West Lavington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you survey a school or hall near West Lavington?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
