About our asbestos survey in Frittenden
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Frittenden must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Common materials are flues, floor tiles and garage roofs, and typical jobs are kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and pre-work surveys for trades.
Village surveys around Frittenden can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Frittenden, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

What we deal with in Frittenden
The danger typically comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Demolition projects
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
For a school like Frittenden Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
What happens
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Preparing for the visit
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Tell us about parking and access

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Frittenden
Do you cover Frittenden from London?

Do you cover small places like Frittenden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
