Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
How asbestos survey works in Warbleton
What you’re planning in Warbleton decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll recommend the right one. From demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and buying a property built before 2000, we cover flues, soffits and textured ceilings.
Village surveys around Warbleton can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Warbleton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Warbleton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Warbleton from London?
We cover Warbleton, about 42 miles from central London.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Looking after things afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Once we’re done:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Covering London and the South East
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Domestic and commercial work
- Condition ratings, not just a list

Why people call us in Warbleton
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Schools such as Heathfield Community College are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Which laboratory analyses samples
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
