After we have finished in Eddington
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Asbestos survey for Eddington properties
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. From buying a property built before 2000 and rented homes between tenancies, we deal with water tanks, soffits and boiler cupboard panels.
In a smaller place like Eddington, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Eddington, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Why people call us in Eddington

What else we do in Eddington
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Eddington
Can you survey a school or hall near Eddington?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work near Herne Bay station?
Yes. Herne Bay station is about 0.5 miles north-west of Eddington, and we cover both.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Eddington?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- 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 you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
