About our asbestos survey in Swaile's Green
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Swaile's Green, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. We often deal with soffits, floor tiles and flues, and typical jobs are surveys requested by builders before work and pre-purchase checks on older properties.
Rural homes near Swaile's Green have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.

Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

FAQs for Swaile's Green
Do you cover Swaile's Green and the area around Robertsbridge station?
Yes, we cover Swaile's Green and the area towards Robertsbridge station, about 3.1 miles north-west.
Do you cover Swaile's Green from London?
Swaile's Green is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Afterwards

- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
