Asbestos survey for Hill Brow properties
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Hill Brow, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is normally the starting point. Common materials are garage roofs, textured ceilings and pipe lagging, and people usually contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and common parts of flats and HMOs.
In a village like Hill Brow, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too

- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before booking builders

What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Common reasons for surveys in Hill Brow
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Community buildings and halls
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
Planning work on an older building in Hill Brow, whether near Rake Mission Church or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Areas included and excluded
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Dig out previous surveys
- Let us know if something’s broken

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Hill Brow
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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.
Could my house in Hill Brow contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
- 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
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
