Asbestos survey in Hook Green
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hook Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
About our asbestos survey in Hook Green
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Whether it’s buying a property built before 2000 and rented homes between tenancies, we cover soffits, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings and more.
In a village like Hook Green, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

What else we do in Hook Green
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. Our guide explains which you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Work done to the regulations
- Every main survey type
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Common reasons for surveys in Hook Green
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
Non-domestic buildings, Sedley's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Hook Green questions
Do you come out to small villages like Hook Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Hook Green have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hook Green can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples for analysis. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work in Hook Green?
We do: Hook Green is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How we price an asbestos survey
Prices vary with:
- Access to the area
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Material and condition
- How many samples are needed
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- A photo of the whole area
- Damaged areas
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.
After we have finished in Hook Green
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
