About our asbestos survey in Kemsley Street
About to refurbish in Kemsley Street? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. From pre-work surveys for trades and checks on rental property, we cover pipe lagging, floor tiles and flues and more.
Village surveys around Kemsley Street can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Kemsley Street
Could my house in Kemsley Street contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Kemsley Street may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Kemsley Street from London?
We cover Kemsley Street, about 32 miles from central London.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Duty holders and landlords in Kemsley Street
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
After we’ve finished in Kemsley Street
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
What to avoid
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Step by step
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, which goes into the report. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
