How asbestos survey works in Aldington Frith
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Aldington Frith, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. We often deal with flues, boiler cupboard panels and pipe lagging, and people normally contact us about pre-purchase checks on older properties and schools, halls and community buildings.
Around a village like Aldington Frith, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Aldington Frith
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Aldington Frith from London?
We cover Aldington Frith, about 52 miles from central London.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Where asbestos turns up
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Public and community buildings
If you manage lettings around Ham Street station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
