About our asbestos survey in Erriottwood
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with, in plain English. Typical jobs include shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and planned refurbishment work, including textured ceilings, water tanks and garage roofs.
Around a village like Erriottwood, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

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 the duty to manage applies.
Your options compared
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

FAQs for Erriottwood
How far is Erriottwood from London?
We cover Erriottwood, about 40 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Erriottwood?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Common reasons for surveys in Erriottwood
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition and strip-out
- Community buildings and halls
If you manage lettings around Teynham station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
