Asbestos help in Bloodden
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Asbestos survey near Bloodden
If you are buying a home or building in Bloodden from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. Common materials are pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and flues, and people usually contact us about refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
Village properties around Bloodden often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

- The survey type

What else we do in Bloodden
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Let us know where we can park

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Bloodden
Do you cover Bloodden from London?
We cover Bloodden, about 58 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
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?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Why people call us in Bloodden
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Shops, offices and industrial units
Non-domestic buildings, Adisham Church of England Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
What your quote should include
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- The number of samples
- What you will receive in writing
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
