Asbestos survey for Westfield properties
If you are buying a home or building in Westfield from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Common materials are pipe lagging, floor tiles and garage roofs, and typical jobs are community buildings and halls and shops, offices and industrial units.
Around a village like Westfield, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Duty holders and landlords in Westfield
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in Westfield were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
What we deal with in Westfield
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across East Sussex can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition projects
- Checks on rental property
For rented homes close to Doleham station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

Westfield: your questions answered
Do you work near Doleham station?
Yes, we cover Westfield and the area towards Doleham station, about 1.6 miles north-east.
Do you cover Westfield from London?
We cover Westfield, about 50 miles from central London.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
How we work
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Let us know if something’s broken
How to get a quote
Include any existing survey or test when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

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
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Going forward:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
