Asbestos survey in Deal
Your options compared
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Recommendations in plain English
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Accredited laboratory results

Asbestos survey near Deal
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. Typical jobs include buying a property built before 2000 and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, including flues, soffits and water tanks.
In towns like Deal, we often survey houses, flats and small businesses, where earlier alterations may contain asbestos. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Typical surveys in Deal
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Community buildings and halls
For a school like Castle Community College, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.

What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Do you survey schools and community buildings around Deal?

Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
