Asbestos survey for Burgh Hill properties
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Burgh Hill. Typical jobs include rented homes due for maintenance and common parts of flats and HMOs, including boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and flues.
In a village like Burgh Hill, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

After the job
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Keeping things safe:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Don’ts
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- 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.

Common questions in Burgh Hill
Do you cover small places like Burgh Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Burgh Hill from London?
We cover Burgh Hill, about 41 miles from central London.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you cover Burgh Hill?
We do: Burgh Hill is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.

Common reasons for surveys in Burgh Hill
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across East Sussex can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
These come up again and again:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Community buildings and halls
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition projects
