Asbestos help in Bonnington
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment

How asbestos survey works in Bonnington
What you are planning in Bonnington decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll match the survey to the plan. We often deal with garage roofs, textured ceilings and water tanks, and typical jobs are workplaces built before 2000 and schools, halls and community buildings.
Village properties around Bonnington often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Why people call us in Bonnington
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 is how they find out.
These are some of the things we deal with in Bonnington:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Community buildings and halls
- Checks on rental property
- Shops, offices and industrial units
Non-domestic buildings, Aldington Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before booking
- The report contents
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether VAT is included
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Bonnington: your questions answered
How far is Bonnington from London?
We cover Bonnington, about 53 miles from central London.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you cover Bonnington?
Yes, we do: Bonnington is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
