Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Going forward:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.

What else we do in Badgers Mount
Typical surveys in Badgers Mount
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
Non-domestic buildings, Halstead Community Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- How many samples are included
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What the report or result will contain
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of materials to sample
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Helping us quote
For a quick quote, include:
- Labels, if any
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Practical recommendations
- Each material’s condition recorded

FAQs for Badgers Mount
Is asbestos common in Badgers Mount homes?
Any home in Badgers Mount built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
