Asbestos survey in Stone Cross
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We will tell you which suits your plans in Stone Cross. From pre-work surveys for trades and rented homes between tenancies, we deal with pipe lagging, textured ceilings and floor tiles and more.
In areas like Stone Cross, surveys generally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Stone Cross: your questions answered
Do you cover Stone Cross from London?
Stone Cross is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Pevensey & Westham station?
Yes. Pevensey & Westham station is about 1.3 miles east of Stone Cross, and we cover both.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
How we price an asbestos survey
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The survey type
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- How many different materials need sampling
- The quantity or area
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- A picture of the whole area
- The access route
- Where we could park
- A clear close-up
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749, and we’ll advise.
After we’ve finished in Stone Cross
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
After we’ve finished:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

What we deal with in Stone Cross
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Community buildings and halls
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
For a school like Stone Cross School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
