About our asbestos survey in Aldington
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Aldington. We often deal with soffits, floor tiles and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are demolition projects and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
Around a village like Aldington, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Aldington
Do you cover Aldington and the area around Ham Street station?
Yes. Ham Street station is about 4.1 miles south-west of Aldington, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Aldington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Aldington buildings and asbestos surveys
Aldington is about 5 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Aldington is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Aldington is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. Our area stretches from Aldington to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
Schools such as Aldington Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. If you’re a landlord near Ham Street station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance. Aldington is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.

Helpful guides
After the job
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Aldington, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
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.
Typical surveys in Aldington
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Demolition projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Community buildings and halls
Got an older property in Aldington, close to Church of St Martin or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
