About our asbestos survey in Udimore
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Udimore, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. People often contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and surveys requested by builders before work, involving textured ceilings, floor tiles and flues.
Rural homes near Udimore 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 will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
FAQs for Udimore
Do you come out to small villages like Udimore?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Udimore from London?
We cover Udimore, about 50 miles from central London.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is a survey needed before building work in Udimore?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- The building’s size and layout
- Material and condition
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The quantity or area
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Visible markings
- A picture of the whole area
- The parking area
- Damaged areas
Not sure what you need? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page and describe the problem, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
After we have finished:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
