Asbestos survey in Borough Green
The process
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We carry out the survey on site
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

About our asbestos survey in Borough Green
Plenty of older buildings, in Borough Green as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Common materials are garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles, and typical jobs are common parts of flats and HMOs and checks on rental property.
In areas like Borough Green, surveys normally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Once we’re done:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Things not to do
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Every main survey type
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Covering London and the South East
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
Take a look at how we quote and published price ranges.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The number of materials to sample
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The building’s size and layout
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote

- A clear close-up

Borough Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Borough Green and the area around Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, we cover Borough Green, including the streets around Borough Green & Wrotham station.
Do you work on properties 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 you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
