About our asbestos survey in Mill Corner
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Mill Corner, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical materials include textured ceilings, garage roofs and soffits, and typical jobs are purchases of older homes and buildings and common parts of flats and HMOs.
Village surveys around Mill Corner can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Common reasons for surveys in Mill Corner
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Rented homes due for maintenance
For a school like Northiam Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
What happens next
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

Duty holders and landlords in Mill Corner
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- 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 booking.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Accredited laboratory results
- Condition assessed for every material
