Asbestos survey across BN15
We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. People often contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, including garage roofs, floor tiles and water tanks.
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it

BN15: surveys for every kind of building
Across BN15, we survey houses, flats, workplaces and buildings before demolition, in Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing and Sompting and in the 1 smaller villages and hamlets. 5 of the places we cover in BN15 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Lancing: If you are a landlord near Lancing station, a survey gives contractors the information they need. A school such as The Globe Primary Academy counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before booking:
- A management survey does not 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
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
How we price an asbestos survey
Quotes vary because of:
- How many different materials need sampling
- The type of survey you need
- The survey scope
- The quantity or area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Weighing up your options
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you are comparing like with like.
Before you book anyone
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Suitable insurance for the work
Your questions about an asbestos survey in BN15
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
