Asbestos survey in Salehurst
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Salehurst, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about purchases of older homes and buildings and rented homes due for maintenance, involving boiler cupboard panels, flues and pipe lagging.
Village properties around Salehurst often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Your options compared
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Access to the area
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The size and age of the building
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A clear close-up
- An overall view
- Visible markings
- Approximate dimensions
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Before you book, note that:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
After we’ve finished in Salehurst
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Once we are done:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Typical surveys in Salehurst
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Planned refurbishment work
If you’re a landlord near Robertsbridge station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
