Asbestos survey for Crowhurst
Asbestos survey near Crowhurst
Not every older building in Crowhurst contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you are in, so you can plan sensibly. Typical jobs include common parts of flats and HMOs and rented homes between tenancies, involving garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
Around a village like Crowhurst, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- 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
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Preparing for the visit
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Let us know if something’s broken

Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Crowhurst, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Why people call us in Crowhurst
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition projects
If you are a landlord near Godstone station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
What to look for in a quote
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- What the report or result will contain

Crowhurst: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Crowhurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Crowhurst homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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 should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- The right survey for your plans
- Records for your files
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Accredited laboratory results

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
