Asbestos survey for Lullington
Asbestos survey for Lullington properties
Plenty of older buildings, in Lullington as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in, so you can plan sensibly. We often deal with floor tiles, textured ceilings and soffits, and people typically contact us about planned refurbishment work and pre-work surveys for trades.
Village properties around Lullington often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What happens next
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:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- 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.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Which option is right?
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you are comparing like with like. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Condition assessed for every material
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Common questions in Lullington
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Lullington?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do older homes in Lullington have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, generally well bound in.
Why people call us in Lullington
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across East Sussex can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
Schools such as Alfriston School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
