Asbestos survey near Broadstone
About our asbestos survey in Broadstone
Managing agents and landlords in Broadstone use surveys so trades know what to avoid, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. Typical jobs include contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and rented homes due for maintenance, involving boiler cupboard panels, soffits and pipe lagging.
Village properties around Broadstone often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Duty holders and landlords in Broadstone
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you run a business from older premises in Broadstone, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Options to consider in Broadstone
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Helpful guides
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- 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
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Broadstone: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Broadstone from London?
Broadstone is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats usually do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
How can I get a price?
