Need an asbestos survey in Fawkham Green?
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
About our asbestos survey in Fawkham Green
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. Typical jobs include rented homes due for maintenance and demolition projects, involving garage roofs, floor tiles and soffits.
Village houses like those in Fawkham Green have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Fawkham Green
Do you cover Fawkham Green from London?
Fawkham Green is about 19 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Fawkham Green contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Fawkham Green may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Choosing the right option
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not typically take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Recommendations in plain English
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Every main survey type
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Find any old asbestos reports
