Asbestos survey in Wellbrook
About our asbestos survey in Wellbrook
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Wellbrook. From demolition projects and community buildings and halls, we cover floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
Village houses like those in Wellbrook have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
How we work
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Asbestos surveys in Wellbrook: local notes
Wellbrook is about 4 miles south-east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. We work across Wellbrook and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. We work in all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Crawley, about 20 miles away.
If you manage lettings around Crowborough station, share asbestos information with trades before work. A school such as Mayfield Church of England Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is generally where that starts. Parts of the High Weald National Landscape are within about a mile of Wellbrook, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.

Weighing up your options

Places near Wellbrook
Duty holders and landlords in Wellbrook
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wellbrook must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If your business premises in Wellbrook were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Wellbrook questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Wellbrook?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Wellbrook from London?
We cover Wellbrook, about 37 miles from central London.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
