How asbestos survey works in Great Kingshill
Planning building work in Great Kingshill? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Typical jobs include common parts of flats and HMOs and rented homes due for maintenance, involving boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and soffits.
Rural homes near Great Kingshill have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What we deal with in Great Kingshill
Older buildings have often been altered many times, 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.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
For a school like Great Kingshill Church of England Combined School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.
What to look for in a quote
- The number of samples

How we price an asbestos survey
Prices vary with:

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Common questions in Great Kingshill
Can you survey a school or hall near Great Kingshill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Could my house in Great Kingshill contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Great Kingshill?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.

Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
For businesses and landlords in Great Kingshill
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Choosing the right option
