Typical surveys in Wallcrouch
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That is why so many buildings in East Sussex can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Checks on rental property
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Demolition projects
- Planned refurbishment work
Schools such as Stonegate Church of England Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
Before booking anyone

- VAT, clearly stated

Asbestos survey in Wallcrouch
If a building in Wallcrouch dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Whether it’s common parts of flats and HMOs and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, we deal with garage roofs, textured ceilings and flues and more.
Around a village like Wallcrouch, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.

Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it

Wallcrouch: your questions answered
How far is Wallcrouch from London?
Wallcrouch is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings normally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
