Asbestos survey in Eridge Green
Asbestos survey near Eridge Green
Plenty of older buildings, in Eridge Green as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Typical materials include water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and soffits, and typical jobs are refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and shops, offices and industrial units.
Village properties around Eridge Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What happens next
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.
Once we are done:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Book the survey before booking builders
Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you manage or own a block in Eridge Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

FAQs for Eridge Green
Do older homes in Eridge Green have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally well bound in.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
