Asbestos survey for Mayfield
About our asbestos survey in Mayfield
Not every older building in Mayfield contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. We often deal with garage roofs, textured ceilings and flues, and people normally contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises.
Rural homes near Mayfield have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs

Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Some practical advice:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
FAQs for Mayfield
How far is Mayfield from London?
Mayfield is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is a survey needed before building work in Mayfield?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Mayfield?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
