About our asbestos survey in Jenkins' Green
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Jenkins' Green. Common materials are flues, garage roofs and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are pre-work surveys for trades and planned refurbishment work.
In a village like Jenkins' Green, 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. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for Jenkins' Green
Do you come out to small villages like Jenkins' Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Jenkins' Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Jenkins' Green can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you cover Jenkins' Green?
Yes. We cover Jenkins' Green and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Insulating board

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Jenkins' Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Common reasons for surveys in Jenkins' Green
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
For a school like Hankham Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The scope, in writing
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
