Asbestos surveys in Steven's Crouch: local notes
Steven's Crouch is about 5 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Properties in Steven's Crouch range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Steven's Crouch is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we work. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 26 miles away.
Schools such as Claverham Community College are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts. Parts of the High Weald National Landscape are within about 7 miles of Steven's Crouch, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.
Here we cover the TN33 postcode area, and your survey can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Catsfield Road and Crowders Lane, and an asbestos survey is available on all of them. If your property is just outside Steven's Crouch, we also cover Penhurst (2 miles north-west), Battle (2 miles east), Netherfield (2 miles north), Mountfield (3 miles north-east) and Twelve Oaks (4 miles north-west).

Steven's Crouch: your questions answered
Do you work near Battle station?
Yes. Battle station is about 2.3 miles east of Steven's Crouch, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Steven's Crouch have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Steven's Crouch may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
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.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Typical surveys in Steven's Crouch
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
If you manage lettings around Battle station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Before booking anyone
- What the report or result will contain
- The number of samples
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Travel and parking
- How easy it is to reach
- The size of the job
- Which survey type fits your plans
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings
- Street parking nearby
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Before booking, note that:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
What happens next
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Step by step
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, before going to an accredited laboratory. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Ensure we can get to the area
