Asbestos survey for Potter's Green properties
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. Typical materials include flues, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels, and people usually contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and checks on rental property.
Village properties around Potter's Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

After the job
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Book the survey before you book builders
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Duty holders and landlords in Potter's Green
If you run a business from older premises in Potter's Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What we deal with in Potter's Green
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across East Sussex can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
For a school like Buxted CofE Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.

How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Potter's Green
Do you work near Buxted station?
Yes, we cover Potter's Green, including the streets around Buxted station.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
