How asbestos survey works in Donkey Street
What you are planning in Donkey Street decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will match the survey to the plan. From contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and workplaces built before 2000, we deal with soffits, garage roofs and floor tiles and more.
Village properties around Donkey Street often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Typical surveys in Donkey Street
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That is why so many buildings in Kent can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.

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 does not.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Common questions in Donkey Street
Could my house in Donkey Street contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Donkey Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
What to avoid
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
