Asbestos survey near Chiddingstone Causeway
Asbestos survey near Chiddingstone Causeway
If a building in Chiddingstone Causeway dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Typical jobs include demolition and strip-out and checks on rental property, involving garage roofs, water tanks and floor tiles.
Village houses like those in Chiddingstone Causeway have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
