Common questions in Felcourt
Do you cover Felcourt from London?
We cover Felcourt, about 24 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Felcourt?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.

How we price asbestos testing
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much sampling is needed
- The quantity or area
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The survey type
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- Visible markings
- A photo of the whole area
- The parking area
- The access route
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Felcourt, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Common reasons for tests in Felcourt
Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so pre-2000 buildings across West Sussex may have it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Debris found after DIY
- Garage roofs before replacement
Schools such as Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works.

The scope of asbestos testing
Before booking, note that:
