How asbestos survey works in Kingsnorth
Our surveys in Kingsnorth cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Whether it’s kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, we deal with water tanks, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
In a village like Kingsnorth, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

How we work
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, so you can keep people away. We will tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Tell us about parking and access
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

What it costs
Prices vary with:
- How much sampling is needed
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size and age of the building
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
- The parking area
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Looking after things afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Keeping things safe:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
For businesses and landlords in Kingsnorth

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Kingsnorth: your questions answered
Do you cover Kingsnorth from London?
Kingsnorth is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Kingsnorth and the area around Ashford International station?
Yes, we cover Kingsnorth and the area towards Ashford International station, about 1.9 miles north.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings normally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Which option is right?
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- The right survey for your plans
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Records for your files
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
