Asbestos survey in Chuck Hatch
Before you buy, build or let in Chuck Hatch, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. From rented homes due for maintenance and community buildings and halls, we deal with soffits, water tanks and floor tiles.
Village houses like those in Chuck Hatch have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Chuck Hatch
Do you work near Ashurst Kent station?
Yes. Ashurst Kent station is about 4 miles north-east of Chuck Hatch, and we cover both.
How far is Chuck Hatch from London?
Chuck Hatch is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is a survey needed before building work in Chuck Hatch?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Do you cover Chuck Hatch?
Yes, Chuck Hatch is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Survey first, then book the trades
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Your options compared
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
