Asbestos survey in Wisborough Green
What you’re planning in Wisborough Green decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll recommend the right one. Common materials are pipe lagging, flues and floor tiles, and typical jobs are public and community buildings and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
Village properties around Wisborough Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding

- Floor tiles and adhesive

- Soffits and porch canopies
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The number of materials to sample
- What the material is and its state
- Travel and parking
- How many samples are needed
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote
Helpful photos:

Questions from Wisborough Green
Is asbestos common in Wisborough Green homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wisborough Green can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Wisborough Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wisborough Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
