About our asbestos survey in Windmill Hill
Not every older building in Windmill Hill contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Common materials are pipe lagging, floor tiles and garage roofs, and typical jobs are schools, halls and community buildings and rented homes between tenancies.
Village surveys around Windmill Hill can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Why people call us in Windmill Hill
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
These come up again and again:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
Schools such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Comparing quotes
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What the report or result will contain
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- 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 in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Windmill Hill: your questions answered
Do you work near Normans Bay station?
Yes. Normans Bay station is about 4.7 miles south-east of Windmill Hill, and we cover both.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Windmill Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
How it works
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, which goes into the report. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Your options compared
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
