Asbestos survey in Hacklinge
Asbestos survey for Hacklinge properties
For landlords and managing agents in Hacklinge, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. From common parts of flats and HMOs and buying a property built before 2000, we cover garage roofs, floor tiles and flues.
Around a village like Hacklinge, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
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.

HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.

Every job is quoted in writing. Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
For businesses and landlords in Hacklinge
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- 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 you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
What we deal with in Hacklinge
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Checks on rental property
- Community buildings and halls
- Planned refurbishment work
- Demolition projects
For a school like Worth Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
