Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

Where asbestos turns up
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.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition and strip-out
If you are a landlord near Uckfield station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The building’s size and layout
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The quantity or area
- Access to the area
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Helpful guides
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Little Horsted: your questions answered
Do you cover Little Horsted from London?
Little Horsted is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Little Horsted and the area around Uckfield station?
Yes, we cover Little Horsted and the area towards Uckfield station, about 1.3 miles north.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
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’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
