Asbestos survey in Northbridge Street
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Northbridge Street.

Typical materials include pipe lagging, flues and garage roofs, and typical jobs are community buildings and halls and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
Rural homes near Northbridge Street have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Which option is right?
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings

We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Common questions in Northbridge Street
Do you work near Robertsbridge station?
Yes. Robertsbridge station is about 0.7 miles south-west of Northbridge Street, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Northbridge Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is a survey needed before building work in Northbridge Street?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
The scope of an asbestos survey
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- 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 timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
