How asbestos survey works in Eythorne
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Eythorne, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include the communal parts of blocks of flats and purchases of older homes and buildings, including water tanks, floor tiles and pipe lagging.
In a village like Eythorne, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Where asbestos turns up
Materials age: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
A school such as Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Before booking anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether extra samples cost more
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Getting ready
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Eythorne, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much sampling is needed
- The quantity or area
- Parking and access charges
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
- The parking area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Which option is right?
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Once we are done:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.

Questions from Eythorne
Could my house in Eythorne contain asbestos?
Any home in Eythorne built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Eythorne from London?
Eythorne is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Eythorne?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Do you cover Eythorne?
Yes. We cover Eythorne and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
