Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels

Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Kingston by Sea?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats usually do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
