Asbestos survey in Snagshall
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Some practical advice:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Asbestos survey for Snagshall properties
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Snagshall. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Typical materials include garage roofs, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are rented homes due for maintenance and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
Village houses like those in Snagshall have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Surveying buildings in Snagshall
Snagshall is about 9 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Snagshall is within our East Sussex area, for surveys of every size. We work in all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 31 miles away.
Non-domestic buildings, Bodiam Church of England Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is generally where that starts. If you’re a landlord near Robertsbridge station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs. Parts of the High Weald National Landscape are within about 7 miles of Snagshall, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.
Wherever your property is in TN32, an asbestos survey is available, from busy streets to quiet lanes. For properties just outside Snagshall, we cover Staplecross (1 mile south), Cripp's Corner (2 miles south), Swaile's Green (2 miles south), Mill Corner (2 miles east) and Sedlescombe (4 miles south). Larger places within reach include Hastings (9 miles south), Bexhill-on-Sea (10 miles south), Hailsham (15 miles south-west), St Leonards (9 miles south), Hastings Old Town (9 miles south) and Belmont (9 miles south).

Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Access to the area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The survey scope
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- Where we could park
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The access route
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we will recommend the right option.

What we do and don’t cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
What we deal with in Snagshall
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
These come up again and again:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Public and community buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition and strip-out
Got an older property in Snagshall, close to The Parish Church of St James or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
FAQs for Snagshall
Do you work near Robertsbridge station?
Yes. Robertsbridge station is about 3.3 miles west of Snagshall, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Snagshall homes?
Any home in Snagshall built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
- 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
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
