The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
Asbestos survey in Halland
Buying an older property in Halland? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. Common materials are flues, soffits and water tanks, and typical jobs are demolition projects and planned refurbishment work.
In a village like Halland, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Surveying buildings in Halland
Halland is about 3 miles south-east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Properties in Halland range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We cover 289 places across East Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 13 miles away.
If you let flats or houses near Uckfield station, a survey gives contractors the information they need. Non-domestic buildings, East Hoathly CofE Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is typically where that starts. Halland is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Halland
How far is Halland from London?
Halland is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Halland and the area around Uckfield station?
Yes. Uckfield station is about 3.1 miles north-west of Halland, and we cover both.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Halland?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
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.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.

- The survey type
