Asbestos survey in Crockhurst Street
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Crockhurst Street must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is normally the starting point. From workplaces built before 2000 and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we cover garage roofs, soffits and boiler cupboard panels.
Village houses like those in Crockhurst Street have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in Crockhurst Street
Can you survey a school or hall near Crockhurst Street?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you come out to small villages like Crockhurst Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats usually do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not usually sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How we price an asbestos survey
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- Parking and access charges
- Access to the area
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The size of the job
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- The parking area
- The access route
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
Not sure what you need? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Duty holders and landlords in Crockhurst Street
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Where asbestos turns up
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Community buildings and halls
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
If you let flats or houses near Tonbridge station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why people choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Accredited laboratory results
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Clear next steps

What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
