Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Practical recommendations
- Records for your files

Typical surveys in Pevensey
You cannot tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Rented homes between tenancies
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
For a school like Pevensey and Westham CofE Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The scope, in writing
- What the report or result will contain
- The number of samples
After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once we’re done:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Questions from Pevensey
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Pevensey?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work in Pevensey?
Yes. We cover Pevensey and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
For businesses and landlords in Pevensey
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
