Asbestos survey for Crouch properties
For landlords and managing agents in Crouch, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. We often deal with garage roofs, pipe lagging and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about public and community buildings and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
Around a village like Crouch, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Crouch questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Crouch and the area around Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, we cover Crouch and the area towards Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 1.2 miles north.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: 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.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Step by step
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
How to prepare
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Where asbestos turns up
The danger usually comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition and strip-out
- Planned refurbishment work
If you have an older property in Crouch, near Church of St Mary or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
For businesses and landlords in Crouch
For managing agents and freeholders in Crouch, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Your options compared
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically 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. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear next steps
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

After we have finished in Crouch
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
