Asbestos survey near Allhallows
Managing agents and landlords in Allhallows use surveys so trades know what to avoid. People often contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, involving flues, textured ceilings and pipe lagging.
Around a village like Allhallows, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

After we have finished in Allhallows
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Going forward:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Book the survey before you book builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Questions from Allhallows
How far is Allhallows from London?
We cover Allhallows, about 32 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Allhallows?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Typical surveys in Allhallows
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Community buildings and halls
For rented homes close to Chalkwell station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
What your quote should include
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Areas included and excluded

Which option is right?
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

- Records for your files
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Allhallows, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually bound in the bitumen.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
