About our asbestos survey in Jarvis Brook
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Jarvis Brook must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. From demolition and strip-out and rented homes between tenancies, we cover pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
Village surveys around Jarvis Brook can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Before we arrive
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

FAQs for Jarvis Brook
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Jarvis Brook?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Could my house in Jarvis Brook contain asbestos?
Any home in Jarvis Brook built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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 a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

For businesses and landlords in Jarvis Brook
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
What we deal with in Jarvis Brook
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.
These come up again and again:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
If you’re a landlord near Crowborough station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
Before booking anyone
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The scope, in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Some practical advice:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Your options compared
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
