Asbestos survey for Rye Harbour properties
Any building in Rye Harbour built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. People often contact us about shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and public and community buildings, including textured ceilings, floor tiles and garage roofs.
Village properties around Rye Harbour often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job

Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
