Questions from Mark Cross
Do you cover small places like Mark Cross?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Mark Cross homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Do you cover Mark Cross?
Yes. We cover Mark Cross and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Asbestos survey near Mark Cross
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in Mark Cross. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, soffits and garage roofs, and typical jobs are refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and buying a property built before 2000.
Rural homes near Mark Cross have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.

For businesses and landlords in Mark Cross
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
