Asbestos survey near Marden's Hill
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with, in plain English. Common materials are soffits, pipe lagging and floor tiles, and typical jobs are pre-purchase checks on older properties and schools, halls and community buildings.
Village properties around Marden's Hill often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Marden's Hill, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Marden's Hill questions
Do you cover Marden's Hill and the area around Crowborough station?
Yes, we cover Marden's Hill and the area towards Crowborough station, about 2.7 miles south-east.
Is asbestos common in Marden's Hill homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats normally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Typical surveys in Marden's Hill
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
These come up again and again:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Community buildings and halls
A school such as St John's Church of England Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is typically where that starts.

Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

After we’ve finished in Marden's Hill
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
The process
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. It helps if we can park nearby.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Getting ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
