Asbestos survey in Hunny Hill
Buying an older property in Hunny Hill? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. People often contact us about demolition projects and buying a property built before 2000, involving floor tiles, water tanks and pipe lagging.
Hunny Hill has a mix of older and newer homes, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
A few practical points:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
What we deal with in Hunny Hill
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Planned refurbishment work
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Surveys requested by builders before work
A school such as Hunnyhill Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What the report or result will contain
- Areas included and excluded
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t 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 will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Weighing up your options
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. See our guide to which survey you need. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Every main survey type
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Each material’s condition recorded

Questions from Hunny Hill
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Hunny Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos common in Hunny Hill homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hunny Hill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
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.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
