Asbestos survey near Key's Green
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Key's Green, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include buying a property built before 2000 and shops, offices and industrial units, including pipe lagging, textured ceilings and water tanks.
Rural homes near Key's Green have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

How we price an asbestos survey
What drives the price:
- The size of the job
- How big the building is
- How easy it is to reach
- How much sampling is needed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Each job is priced individually. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.
Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Covering London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Every main survey type
- Work done to the regulations
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Why people call us in Key's Green
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
These come up again and again:
- Checks on rental property
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition projects
If you let flats or houses near Frant station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

Questions from Key's Green
Is asbestos common in Key's Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
For businesses and landlords in Key's Green
If you run a business from older premises in Key's Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
