Asbestos survey in Pell Green
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will tell you which suits your plans in Pell Green. Typical materials include soffits, pipe lagging and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about community buildings and halls and surveys requested by builders before work.
Village surveys around Pell Green can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

Common questions in Pell Green
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Pell Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you come out to small villages like Pell Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you cover Pell Green?
Yes. We cover Pell Green and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
How to prepare
- Dig out previous surveys
- Clear the way to the work area
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
How we price an asbestos survey
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How many different materials need sampling
