Asbestos survey for Jury's Gap properties
About to refurbish in Jury's Gap? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Whether it’s the communal parts of blocks of flats and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, we cover flues, soffits and garage roofs and more.
Rural homes near Jury's Gap have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Options to consider in Jury's Gap
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How it works
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. The work area is kept clear while we are working.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Common questions in Jury's Gap
Do you cover Jury's Gap and the area around Rye station?
Yes. Rye station is about 4.5 miles west of Jury's Gap, and we cover both.
How far is Jury's Gap from London?
Jury's Gap is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After we have finished:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
What we deal with in Jury's Gap
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
If you are a landlord near Rye station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
What your quote should include
- How many samples are included
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- What you’ll receive in writing
- The scope of the job, in writing
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Jury's Gap, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
- 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
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
