Asbestos survey in East Langdon
About our asbestos survey in East Langdon
The type of survey you need in East Langdon depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will match the survey to the plan. From buying a property built before 2000 and the communal parts of blocks of flats, we deal with pipe lagging, garage roofs and flues and more.
Village properties around East Langdon 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.

Questions from East Langdon
Could my house in East Langdon contain asbestos?
If your home in East Langdon was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like East Langdon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is a survey needed before building work in East Langdon?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you survey commercial buildings in East Langdon?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

What we do and don’t cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
For businesses and landlords in East Langdon
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Kent can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
These are some of the things we deal with in East Langdon:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Buying a property built before 2000
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
Schools such as Langdon Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is usually where that starts.

What happens next
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
- 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
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
