If you need an asbestos survey in Crawley — to manage a building, satisfy a lender, or clear the way for refurbishment — our P402-qualified surveyors cover the whole of South East England.
Asbestos in Crawley
Crawley was designated a new town in 1947 and grew rapidly alongside Gatwick Airport, built as a series of self-contained neighbourhoods around an older market core. Much of its housing dates from the 1950s to 70s and used asbestos insulating board, cement soffits, textured coatings and garage roofs. The original Three Bridges and Ifield areas add further period housing with asbestos materials.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Crawley properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Surveys in Crawley: FAQs
Could my Crawley new-town home contain asbestos?
Yes — much of Crawley's housing was built between the 1950s and 70s, when asbestos insulating board, cement soffits and textured coatings were widely used. A survey before any renovation confirms exactly what your specific property holds.
Do you survey commercial premises near Gatwick in Crawley?
We do. Older offices, warehouses and industrial units around Crawley and Gatwick often contain asbestos in ceiling tiles, lagging and floor finishes, and all non-domestic premises need a management survey by law. We provide a full register and plan.
Which asbestos survey do I actually need?
If the building is staying as-is, a management survey satisfies your legal duty to manage. If you are refurbishing or demolishing any part of it, the law requires the more intrusive refurbishment & demolition survey before work begins. We will confirm the right one free of charge.
How long does an asbestos survey take?
A domestic management survey is often done in a single morning. Larger commercial premises or intrusive refurbishment surveys take longer, but we return UKAS-analysed results and the full report typically within 48 hours of the site visit.
