Asbestos survey in Broom Street

People often contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, including pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
Rural homes near Broom Street have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Broom Street were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Questions from Broom Street
How far is Broom Street from London?
We cover Broom Street, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Broom Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you cover Broom Street?
Yes. We cover Broom Street and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
What affects the price in Broom Street
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The survey scope
- How easy it is to reach
- How much sampling is needed
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
- A photo of the whole area
- Visible markings

Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, generally well bound in.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Where asbestos turns up
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Community buildings and halls
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Planned refurbishment work
- Demolition and strip-out
If you let flats or houses near Faversham station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Comparing quotes
- The scope, in writing
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether extra samples cost more
- What the report or result will contain
Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
