What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Oxley's Green: your questions answered
Do you work near Robertsbridge station?
Yes. Robertsbridge station is about 2.8 miles north-east of Oxley's Green, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Oxley's Green have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
