Asbestos survey for Eynsford properties
What you are planning in Eynsford decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll recommend the right one. Whether it’s contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and planned refurbishment work, we deal with soffits, water tanks and pipe lagging.
Village houses like those in Eynsford have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment

Questions from Eynsford
Do you come out to small villages like Eynsford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Eynsford have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
After we have finished:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Book the survey before you book builders
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Why people call us in Eynsford
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Community buildings and halls
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Surveys requested by builders before work
Non-domestic buildings, The Anthony Roper Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.

Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
