Asbestos survey in East Sussex: what to expect

An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In East Sussex, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Typical materials include water tanks, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are workplaces built before 2000 and community buildings and halls.

Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down.

Where we survey in East Sussex

Across East Sussex, we survey houses, flats, workplaces and buildings before demolition, from Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea to small villages. Parts of East Sussex are within a few miles of the High Weald National Landscape and the South Downs National Park, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common. Around 106 places in East Sussex are close to the coast, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.

Eastbourne: If you let flats or houses near Hampden Park station, a survey gives contractors the information they need. For a school like Stafford Junior School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.

Materials we deal with

Roofing felt and bitumen

Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, generally bound in the bitumen.

Pipe lagging

Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.

Doing it yourself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

What affects the price in East Sussex

What changes the cost:

How much there is
Travel and parking
Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
The type of survey you need

Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Photos that help

When you send photos, these help most:

A wide shot showing where the material is
Visible markings
A rough size or measurement
A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Choosing the right option

A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted.

Questions from East Sussex

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

Do landlords need an asbestos survey?

Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats typically do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.

Is a survey needed before building work in East Sussex?

For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.

How can I get a price?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
