How asbestos survey works in Saint Hill Green
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. We often deal with floor tiles, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels, and people normally contact us about refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
Around a village like Saint Hill Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. We only recommend work that is needed.

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Saint Hill Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
Saint Hill Green questions
Do you cover Saint Hill Green and the area around East Grinstead station?
Yes, we cover Saint Hill Green and the area towards East Grinstead station, about 1.5 miles north.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is a survey needed before building work in Saint Hill Green?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Do you work in Saint Hill Green?
Yes. We cover Saint Hill Green and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
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.
After we have finished in Saint Hill Green
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
