Asbestos survey in Isfield
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
About our asbestos survey in Isfield
If a building in Isfield 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. Typical jobs include rented homes between tenancies and purchases of older homes and buildings, including pipe lagging, floor tiles and boiler cupboard panels.
Around a village like Isfield, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Isfield
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Isfield and the area around Uckfield station?
Yes, we cover Isfield and the area towards Uckfield station, about 2.7 miles north-east.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What it might be made of
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That’s why so many buildings in East Sussex can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
Planning work on an older building in Isfield, whether near The Parish Church of St Margaret or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
What your quote should include
- The report contents
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
