Asbestos survey for Wych Cross properties
Plenty of older buildings, in Wych Cross as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours. People often contact us about shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and planned refurbishment work, involving water tanks, pipe lagging and garage roofs.
Village houses like those in Wych Cross have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Wych Cross
Do you cover small places like Wych Cross?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

What’s included, and what is not
Before you book, note that:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
