Asbestos survey near Cramhurst
Typical surveys in Cramhurst
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Community buildings and halls
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Schools such as Rodborough are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
What to look for in a quote
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether VAT is included
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
How asbestos survey works in Cramhurst
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. We often deal with flues, garage roofs and water tanks, and typical jobs are planned refurbishment work and public and community buildings.
Rural homes near Cramhurst have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Cramhurst: your questions answered
Do older homes in Cramhurst have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Cramhurst from London?
We cover Cramhurst, about 34 miles from central London.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Helpful guides
After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually bound in the bitumen.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
For businesses and landlords in Cramhurst
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Cramhurst, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
