About our asbestos survey in Hilden Park
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Hilden Park, a survey answers the asbestos question. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include buying a property built before 2000 and public and community buildings, involving pipe lagging, garage roofs and water tanks.
Around a village like Hilden Park, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Dig out previous surveys

Helpful guides
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
After the job
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
After we have finished:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Where asbestos turns up
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
These come up again and again:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Public and community buildings
- Rented homes due for maintenance
If you manage lettings around Hildenborough station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Questions to ask before you book
- The report contents
- Whether VAT is included
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Suitable insurance for the work
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Weighing up your options
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- Clear written quotes
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Common questions in Hilden Park
Is asbestos common in Hilden Park homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hilden Park may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Hilden Park and the area around Hildenborough station?
Yes. Hildenborough station is about 1.2 miles west of Hilden Park, and we cover both.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work in Hilden Park?
Yes, we do: our area includes Hilden Park and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
