Why people call us in Kingston near Lewes
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across East Sussex can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
In older properties, we often see:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Public and community buildings
Schools such as Iford and Kingston Church of England Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
What your quote should include
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Whether VAT is included

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Common questions in Kingston near Lewes
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Kingston near Lewes?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not generally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
