Asbestos survey for Upper Hartfield properties
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Upper Hartfield, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is usually the starting point. Whether it’s surveys requested by builders before work and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, we cover textured ceilings, soffits and floor tiles.
In a village like Upper Hartfield, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What affects the price in Upper Hartfield
We base our quote on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Material and condition
- How many samples are needed
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Before you book, note that:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
The process
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Find any old asbestos reports

Helpful guides
After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Going forward:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Don’ts
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

Common questions in Upper Hartfield
Is asbestos common in Upper Hartfield homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Upper Hartfield may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Upper Hartfield and the area around Ashurst Kent station?
Yes. Ashurst Kent station is about 3.7 miles north-east of Upper Hartfield, and we cover both.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work in Upper Hartfield?
Yes, we do: Upper Hartfield is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Choosing the right option
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you are comparing like with like. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
