Asbestos survey near Fairseat
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 Fairseat, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. We often deal with water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs, and typical jobs are demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
In a village like Fairseat, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

After we have finished in Fairseat
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Common reasons for surveys in Fairseat

Fairseat buildings and asbestos surveys
Fairseat is about 7 miles north-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Fairseat is within our Kent area, for surveys of every size. We work in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Fairseat to London (about 22 miles away).
If you are a landlord near Borough Green & Wrotham station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs. Schools such as Wrotham School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 7 miles of Fairseat, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.
Wherever your property is in TN15, an asbestos survey is available, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Vigo Road and Platt House Lane, and an asbestos survey is available on all of them. We also carry out surveys in Hodsoll Street (1 mile north), Labour-in-vain (1 mile south-west), Culverstone Green (1 mile north-east), Trottiscliffe (1 mile south-east) and Vigo Village (1 mile east). We also cover nearby towns such as Maidstone (10 miles south-east), Dartford (9 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (7 miles south-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (14 miles south), Gravesend (7 miles north) and Tonbridge (9 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include Ightham Court (2.9 miles south-west) and Coldrum Long Barrow (2 miles east).
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.

So you know what to expect:
- 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
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

- Soffits and porch canopies

Fairseat questions
Do you come out to small villages like Fairseat?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Fairseat contain 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.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you are planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
Do you work in Fairseat?
We do: our area includes Fairseat and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.

The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
