Asbestos survey in Ashburnham
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
How asbestos survey works in Ashburnham
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. From public and community buildings and common parts of flats and HMOs, we deal with textured ceilings, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks and more.
Village properties around Ashburnham often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What happens
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
How to get a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.

After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

Which option is right?
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Each material’s condition recorded

Ashburnham: your questions answered
How far is Ashburnham from London?
Ashburnham is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Ashburnham have asbestos?
Any home in Ashburnham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you cover Ashburnham?
We do: Ashburnham is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much sampling is needed
- Access to the area
- How many samples are needed
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size
- Cracks or breaks

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Ashburnham must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Ashburnham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
