Asbestos survey in Conyer
Not every older building in Conyer contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you are in. We often deal with floor tiles, flues and garage roofs, and typical jobs are public and community buildings and surveys requested by builders before work.
In a village like Conyer, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Other services in Conyer

Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

FAQs for Conyer
How far is Conyer from London?
We cover Conyer, about 41 miles from central London.
Do you cover Conyer and the area around Teynham station?
Yes. Teynham station is about 1.1 miles south of Conyer, and we cover both.
Is a survey needed before building work in Conyer?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Conyer?
That depends on what you are planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
For businesses and landlords in Conyer
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
