FAQs for Budlett's Common
Is asbestos common in Budlett's Common homes?
If your home in Budlett's Common was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.

Yes. We cover Budlett's Common and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
