What we do and don’t cover

Worth knowing before you book:

A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Asbestos survey in Brightling

An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Brightling, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Whether it’s pre-work surveys for trades and rented homes due for maintenance, we cover floor tiles, soffits and flues.

In a village like Brightling, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that’s needed.

For businesses and landlords in Brightling

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Questions from Brightling

Do you cover small places like Brightling?

We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.

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.

How do I get a quote?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Will I get the price in writing?

Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

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, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Do you work in Brightling?

We do: our area includes Brightling and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.

What happens next

If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.

Some practical advice:

Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Book the survey before you book builders
Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts

Avoid these

Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

What it might be made of

Roofing felt and bitumen

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

Floor tiles and adhesive

We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.

Can I do it myself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
