DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
FAQs for Goose Green
Could my house in Goose Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Goose Green and the area around Yalding station?
Yes. Yalding station is about 2.5 miles east of Goose Green, and we cover both.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you cover Goose Green?
Yes, Goose Green is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Goose Green?
It depends on your plans: 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 will advise.
What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Why people call us in Goose Green
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes due for maintenance
A school such as Hadlow 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.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- What you will receive in writing
- Whether extra samples cost more
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
The process
If a material is damaged, we’ll say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- 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
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Dig out previous surveys

Duty holders and landlords in Goose Green
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Goose Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
