Asbestos survey for Cock Marling properties
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Typical jobs include demolition and strip-out and purchases of older homes and buildings, including flues, pipe lagging and soffits.
Village houses like those in Cock Marling have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Options to consider in Cock Marling
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. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Cock Marling, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Cock Marling: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Cock Marling homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Cock Marling from London?
We cover Cock Marling, about 51 miles from central London.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you are planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work in Cock Marling?
We do: Cock Marling is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen

Looking after things afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
How it works
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Tell us about parking and access
