Asbestos survey in Turners Hill
Before you buy, build or let in Turners Hill, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Whether it’s the communal parts of blocks of flats and community buildings and halls, we deal with garage roofs, floor tiles and soffits and more.
Village properties around Turners Hill often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- The type of survey you need
- What the material is and its state
- The size of the job
- Parking and access charges
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The access route
- Where we could park
- An idea of size
For a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Typical surveys in Turners Hill
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there’s no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Checks on rental property
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition projects
A school such as Turners Hill CofE Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.
Before you book anyone
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- The report contents
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Your options compared
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why people choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- Clear written quotes
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Turners Hill
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Turners Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What we do and do not cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
