Asbestos survey in Chilmington Green
The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. The work area is kept clear while we are working.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Options to consider in Chilmington Green
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
The scope of an asbestos survey
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

FAQs for Chilmington Green
Can you survey a school or hall near Chilmington Green?

Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
