What happens next

For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.

If asbestos stays in the building:

Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe

Avoid these

Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.

About our asbestos survey in Bodiam

Not every older building in Bodiam contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. Typical jobs include common parts of flats and HMOs and pre-purchase checks on older properties, including flues, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles.

Village properties around Bodiam often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What it might be made of

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.

Roofing felt and bitumen

Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.

Step by step

Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.

Helpful guides

Which asbestos survey do I need?

Good to know

Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:

A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How much sampling is needed
The size of the job

A closer photo of the material, without touching it
The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Questions from Bodiam

Do you work near Robertsbridge station?

Yes. Robertsbridge station is about 3.3 miles south-west of Bodiam, and we cover both.

How far is Bodiam from London?

Bodiam is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.

Do landlords need an asbestos survey?

Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats usually do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.

Do you work in Bodiam?

Yes, Bodiam is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.

Weighing up your options

Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Duty holders and landlords in Bodiam

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
