About our asbestos survey in Lamberhurst
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’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Lamberhurst. Common materials are soffits, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs, and people generally contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
Rural homes near Lamberhurst have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Common reasons for surveys in Lamberhurst
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
These come up again and again:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Planned refurbishment work
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Pre-work surveys for trades

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Lamberhurst
Do you work near Wadhurst station?
Yes. Wadhurst station is about 3.9 miles south-west of Lamberhurst, and we cover both.
Do you cover Lamberhurst from London?
We cover Lamberhurst, about 35 miles from central London.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.

- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once we’re done:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- The type of survey you need
- The survey scope
- How big the building is
- The quantity or area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
