Asbestos survey near Langney

Planning building work in Langney? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. From refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and rented homes between tenancies, we cover textured ceilings, garage roofs and flues and more.

In a smaller place like Langney, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Langney questions

How far is Langney from London?

Langney is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.

Could my house in Langney contain asbestos?

If your home in Langney was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you give written quotes?

Yes, always.

What does licensed work mean?

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.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?

No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not usually sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

Can you survey offices and warehouses?

Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.

Materials we deal with

Roofing felt and bitumen

Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.

Floor tiles and adhesive

We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.

Good to know

We are upfront about what’s included:

A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Floor tiles and adhesive
Ceiling tiles

Service details

DIY and asbestos

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Duty holders and landlords in Langney

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

For managing agents and freeholders in Langney, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Looking after things afterwards

Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.

To avoid problems in future:

Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Survey first, then book the trades

What to avoid

Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.

What it costs

Prices vary with:

The quantity or area
How easy it is to reach
Parking and access charges
How many different materials need sampling

Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

What to photograph

Photo tips:

How we’d reach it
A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
A rough size or measurement
