Asbestos survey in Lions Green
Asbestos survey near Lions Green
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Lions Green, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is normally the starting point. Typical materials include soffits, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels, and people normally contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects.
Around a village like Lions Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What we deal with in Lions Green
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
Got an older property in Lions Green, close to The Parish Church of All Saints or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

Questions from Lions Green
How far is Lions Green from London?
We cover Lions Green, about 41 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.

Weighing up your options
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- 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 sets out what was found and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
- Dig out previous surveys
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
A few practical points:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Don’ts
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
