For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Guestling Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
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.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

What we deal with in Guestling Green
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.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition projects
- Public and community buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
For rented homes close to Three Oaks station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
What your quote should include
- What the report or result will contain
- If the price includes VAT
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing
How we price an asbestos survey
Our quotes take into account:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- What the material is and its state
- How many different materials need sampling
- Parking and access charges
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Approximate dimensions
- How we’d reach it
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
Which option is right?
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. See our guide to which survey you need. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What you get
- Practical recommendations
- Across London and the South East
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Guestling Green
Do you cover Guestling Green and the area around Three Oaks station?
Yes, we cover Guestling Green and the area towards Three Oaks station, about 1.1 miles north-west.
Do you cover small places like Guestling Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What happens next
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Survey first, then book the trades
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
