For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Coggins Mill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across East Sussex may have it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Tiles found under carpet
Parents and staff at schools such as Mayfield Church of England Primary School can ask about the school’s asbestos management.
What your quote should include
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Suitable insurance for the work
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which areas and materials are covered
Afterwards
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal, and you can show the result to your builder.
Some practical advice:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
Avoid these
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Test before you book the builders, so you can plan properly.
Questions from Coggins Mill
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Coggins Mill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How do I know if a material in Coggins Mill contains asbestos?
Not reliably by eye: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
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.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Options to consider in Coggins Mill
Home testing kits are available, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
