How asbestos survey works in Anvil Green
Buying an older property in Anvil Green? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. People often contact us about community buildings and halls and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, including water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles.
Village houses like those in Anvil Green have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What’s included, and what isn’t
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies

What happens next
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Questions from Anvil Green
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Anvil Green homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Anvil Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
