For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
How we price an asbestos survey
Our quotes take into account:
- The building’s size and layout
- Access to the area
- The type of survey you need
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- The access route
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Street parking nearby
- Labels, if any

A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you are comparing like with like. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

- Accredited laboratory results

Hall's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Hall's Green and the area around Penshurst station?
Yes, we cover Hall's Green and the area towards Penshurst station, about 1.9 miles south.
Could my house in Hall's Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Hall's Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is a survey needed before building work in Hall's Green?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Step by step
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. It helps if we can park nearby.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We recommend the right type of survey

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
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 reasons for surveys in Hall's Green
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Shops, offices and industrial units
Schools such as Weald Community 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 your quote should include
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- What the report or result will contain
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Looking after things 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.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
