Need an asbestos survey in Egerton?
Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

About our asbestos survey in Egerton
The type of survey you need in Egerton depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll match the survey to the plan. From common parts of flats and HMOs and schools, halls and community buildings, we deal with garage roofs, flues and boiler cupboard panels.
Village houses like those in Egerton have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
What it might be made of
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
What we deal with in Egerton
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
For a school like Egerton Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.

The process
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.

- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Questions from Egerton
Do you cover Egerton from London?
We cover Egerton, about 41 miles from central London.
Can you survey a school or hall near Egerton?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Do you cover Egerton?
Yes. We cover Egerton and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
