Dunk's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Dunk's Green and the area around Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, we cover Dunk's Green and the area towards Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 2.8 miles north.
Is asbestos common in Dunk's Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Dunk's Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
How we work
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not generally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Keeping things safe:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Book the survey before you book builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
