Why people call us in Blindley Heath
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition and strip-out
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Surveys requested by builders before work
For rented homes close to Godstone station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

FAQs for Blindley Heath
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Blindley Heath homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Blindley Heath may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats typically do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Your options compared
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Accredited laboratory results
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Reports and results you can share
- Work done to the regulations

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
