About our asbestos survey in Great Mongeham
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Great Mongeham, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. From managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and the communal parts of blocks of flats, we deal with soffits, textured ceilings and garage roofs and more.
In a village like Great Mongeham, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Going forward:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

What we deal with in Great Mongeham
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
In older properties, we often see:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Rented homes due for maintenance
Schools such as Hornbeam Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What to look for in a quote
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether extra samples cost more
- What the report or result will contain
Choosing the right option
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why choose us
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Condition ratings, not just a list

Should you do it yourself?
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

For businesses and landlords in Great Mongeham
If you manage or own a block in Great Mongeham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- 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 booking.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
Great Mongeham: your questions answered
Do you work near Walmer station?
Yes, we cover Great Mongeham and the area towards Walmer station, about 1.2 miles south-east.
How far is Great Mongeham from London?
We cover Great Mongeham, about 66 miles from central London.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Great Mongeham?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
