Asbestos survey for Broomfield properties
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Broomfield. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical materials include soffits, flues and water tanks, and typical jobs are demolition projects and common parts of flats and HMOs.
Village properties around Broomfield often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Questions from Broomfield
Do you come out to small villages like Broomfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Broomfield?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Broomfield must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
A few practical points:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Broomfield buildings and asbestos surveys
Broomfield is about 1 mile south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. For surveys in Broomfield, tell us about parking and access when you get in touch. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Broomfield to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).

Typical surveys in Broomfield
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
Planning work on an older building in Broomfield, whether near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere? Survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.
