Asbestos survey in Rock-a-Nore
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. People often contact us about kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and demolition projects, including floor tiles, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels.
A survey in Rock-a-Nore typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. We only recommend work that is needed.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment

Questions from Rock-a-Nore
How far is Rock-a-Nore from London?
Rock-a-Nore is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Rock-a-Nore and the area around Ore station?
Yes, we cover Rock-a-Nore and the area towards Ore station, about 0.8 miles north.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you cover Rock-a-Nore?
Yes. We cover Rock-a-Nore and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
What we deal with in Rock-a-Nore
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
A school such as Ark Castledown Primary Academy counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.

Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
A few practical points:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Rock-a-Nore, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Step by step
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Keep children and pets away on the day
