Asbestos survey for Roser's Cross
How asbestos survey works in Roser's Cross
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Roser's Cross. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Whether it’s demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and planned refurbishment work, we cover soffits, pipe lagging and floor tiles.
In a village like Roser's Cross, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
A few practical points:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- The quantity or area
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The survey scope
- The size and age of the building
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, normally well bound in.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Weighing up your options
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Common questions in Roser's Cross
Is asbestos common in Roser's Cross homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Roser's Cross may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
