Asbestos survey near Eastchurch

People often contact us about community buildings and halls and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, involving flues, floor tiles and garage roofs.
Around a village like Eastchurch, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

FAQs for Eastchurch
Do you cover small places like Eastchurch?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you survey a school or hall near Eastchurch?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
The process
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Eastchurch, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Choosing the right option
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Where asbestos turns up
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
Schools such as Eastchurch Church of England 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 typically where that starts.
What to look for in a quote
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Which areas and materials are covered

Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
