Asbestos survey in Blue Town
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. Whether it’s purchases of older homes and buildings and schools, halls and community buildings, we deal with pipe lagging, soffits and floor tiles and more.
Homes in areas like Blue Town range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

After the job
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Once we’re done:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
For businesses and landlords in Blue Town
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Blue Town must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

What else we do in Blue Town
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before booking:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Questions from Blue Town
Do older homes in Blue Town have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Blue Town from London?
Blue Town is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
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.

Common reasons for surveys in Blue Town
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Workplaces built before 2000
If you’re a landlord near Sheerness-On-Sea station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
