Common questions in Kent Street
Do older homes in Kent Street have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Kent Street can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Kent Street from London?
Kent Street is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
For managing agents and freeholders in Kent Street, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Where asbestos turns up
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Planned refurbishment work
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
What to look for in a quote
- The report contents
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- The scope, in writing
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
After we have finished:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Book the survey before you book builders
Things not to do
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The survey scope
- The size and age of the building
- The size of the job
- How easy it is to reach
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
- A clear close-up
- Cracks or breaks
