Asbestos survey near Wiggonholt
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
How to prepare
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

How asbestos survey works in Wiggonholt
If you’re buying a home or building in Wiggonholt from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Whether it’s the communal parts of blocks of flats and pre-purchase checks on older properties, we cover floor tiles, pipe lagging and flues and more.
Village properties around Wiggonholt often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Places near Wiggonholt
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Wiggonholt
How far is Wiggonholt from London?
We cover Wiggonholt, about 42 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Wiggonholt homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in 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 I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Do you cover Wiggonholt?
Yes. We cover Wiggonholt and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
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.

For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
