About our asbestos survey in Brands Hill
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Brands Hill must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Whether it’s kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and workplaces built before 2000, we cover textured ceilings, garage roofs and floor tiles.
Village properties around Brands Hill often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What affects the price in Brands Hill
The cost depends on:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The size of the job
- Access to the area
- Parking and access charges
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- The access route
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
- An overall view
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
After we have finished:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- 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.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, generally bound in the bitumen.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Your options compared
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you are comparing like with like. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Common questions in Brands Hill
Can you survey a school or hall near Brands Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Brands Hill and the area around Sunnymeads station?
Yes. Sunnymeads station is about 1.1 miles south-west of Brands Hill, and we cover both.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Brands Hill?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
