FAQs for Bullingstone
Do you work near Tunbridge Wells station?
Yes, we cover Bullingstone and the area towards Tunbridge Wells station, about 2.5 miles south-east.
Do older homes in Bullingstone have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
What happens next
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After we have finished:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Where asbestos turns up
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Planned refurbishment work
- Surveys requested by builders before work
If you let flats or houses near Tunbridge Wells station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
