Asbestos survey in Mott's Mill

An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Mott's Mill, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include common parts of flats and HMOs and public and community buildings, including water tanks, floor tiles and flues.

Village surveys around Mott's Mill can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Which option is right?

The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Responsibilities for owners

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mott's Mill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

A closer look at the materials

Floor tiles and adhesive

Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.

Roofing felt and bitumen

Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, generally bound in the bitumen.

After we’ve finished in Mott's Mill

If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:

Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Book the survey before booking builders

Things not to do

Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.

Limits to be aware of

The usual limits are:

Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Mott's Mill

Do you cover Mott's Mill and the area around Eridge station?

Yes, we cover Mott's Mill and the area towards Eridge station, about 1.3 miles east.

Do you come out to small villages like Mott's Mill?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?

That depends on what you are planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.

How quickly can you come out?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
