Asbestos survey in East Hoathly
How asbestos survey works in East Hoathly
If a building in East Hoathly dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. From demolition and strip-out and shops, offices and industrial units, we cover boiler cupboard panels, flues and floor tiles.
Around a village like East Hoathly, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
What we deal with in East Hoathly
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
A school such as East Hoathly CofE Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Your options compared
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not generally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

East Hoathly questions
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover East Hoathly from London?
We cover East Hoathly, about 41 miles from central London.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you survey commercial buildings in East Hoathly?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
