Where asbestos turns up
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in East Sussex can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Rented homes between tenancies
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Buying a property built before 2000
Planning work on an older building in Flowers Green, whether near Herstmonceux Free Church or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

Asbestos survey in Flowers Green
About to refurbish in Flowers Green? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. From shops, offices and industrial units and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we deal with garage roofs, soffits and boiler cupboard panels.
Around a village like Flowers Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
