About our asbestos survey in Kippington
Any building in Kippington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. From pre-purchase checks on older properties and checks on rental property, we cover textured ceilings, water tanks and soffits.
A survey in Kippington typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What you get
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Practical recommendations
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Clear advice on your options
Take a look at how we price jobs and our cost guide.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
Kippington: your questions answered
How far is Kippington from London?
We cover Kippington, about 20 miles from central London.
Could my house in Kippington contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Kippington may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
For businesses and landlords in Kippington
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Kippington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Afterwards
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
