How asbestos survey works in Little London
Any building in Little London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. We often deal with floor tiles, garage roofs and flues, and typical jobs are buying a property built before 2000 and demolition projects.
Around a village like Little London, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How many different materials need sampling
- The size and age of the building
- The quantity or area
- The survey scope
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Your options compared
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- Records for your files
- Clear next steps
- Work done to the regulations

Afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Little London questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Little London?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
