About our asbestos survey in Cheeseman's Green
If you are buying a home or building in Cheeseman's Green from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Whether it’s pre-purchase checks on older properties and public and community buildings, we cover flues, garage roofs and boiler cupboard panels.
Village properties around Cheeseman's Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Questions from Cheeseman's Green
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Cheeseman's Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

What we deal with in Cheeseman's Green
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Kent can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Demolition projects
- Planned refurbishment work
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Public and community buildings
For a school like Finberry Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Comparing quotes
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The scope, in writing
- VAT, clearly stated
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before you book builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: 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, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
