Asbestos survey for Green Street Green
Asbestos survey near Green Street Green
Planning building work in Green Street Green? 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. From pre-purchase checks on older properties and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and pipe lagging.
Around a village like Green Street Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Choosing the right option
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Clear advice on your options
- The right survey for your plans

The scope of an asbestos survey
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues

- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the area

What else we do in Green Street Green
Typical surveys in Green Street Green
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Kent can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
If you manage lettings around Longfield station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
