Common questions in Burwash Common
Could my house in Burwash Common contain asbestos?
Any home in Burwash Common built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Burwash Common from London?
Burwash Common is about 40 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is a survey needed before building work in Burwash Common?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
About our asbestos survey in Burwash Common
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Burwash Common, a survey answers the asbestos question. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include the communal parts of blocks of flats and purchases of older homes and buildings, including boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and textured ceilings.
Around a village like Burwash Common, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
A few practical points:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
What to avoid

Which option is right?
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

- Buying a property built before 2000
