Agricultural buildings and barn conversions
Barn and outbuilding conversions are common across the Dengie and the Blackwater villages. Before conversion work starts, a refurbishment and demolition survey is the right instrument — asbestos cement roof sheets, cement gutters, flue pipes and occasionally sprayed or board products around old plant are all realistic finds in agricultural structures.
Where a building is coming down rather than being converted, the survey needs to cover everything the demolition will disturb, including areas that would normally be inaccessible.
