For businesses and landlords in Horsmonden
If you run a business from older premises in Horsmonden, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
About our asbestos survey in Horsmonden
We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. We often deal with flues, pipe lagging and garage roofs, and typical jobs are demolition projects and schools, halls and community buildings.
Village houses like those in Horsmonden have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Options to consider in Horsmonden
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why people choose us
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Covering London and the South East
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys

Looking after things afterwards
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.
To avoid problems in future:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
How we price an asbestos survey
The cost depends on:
- The number of materials to sample
- How big the building is
- Material and condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- Street parking nearby
- Visible markings
- How we’d reach it
- An idea of size
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Horsmonden: your questions answered
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Horsmonden?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Horsmonden and the area around Paddock Wood station?
Yes, we cover Horsmonden and the area towards Paddock Wood station, about 3.4 miles north-west.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How we work
If a material is damaged, we’ll say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. Parking close by makes the day easier.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples

Helpful guides
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
