A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically well bound in.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
What we deal with in Bexhill-on-Sea
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Rented homes between tenancies
If you’re a landlord near Bexhill station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Which option is right?
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Across London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises

Bexhill-on-Sea questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Bexhill-on-Sea?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Bexhill-on-Sea from London?
Bexhill-on-Sea is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Bexhill-on-Sea?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
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.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
