Asbestos survey near Cooper's Green
Materials, one by one
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.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Asbestos survey for Cooper's Green properties
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. From checks on rental property and purchases of older homes and buildings, we cover floor tiles, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels.
Village properties around Cooper's Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

FAQs for Cooper's Green
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Cooper's Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Is a survey needed before building work in Cooper's Green?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
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. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
