About our asbestos survey in Kit's Coty
Before you buy, build or let in Kit's Coty, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. We often deal with floor tiles, garage roofs and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are pre-work surveys for trades and demolition projects.
In a village like Kit's Coty, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- How easy it is to reach
- How many samples are needed
- The number of materials to sample
- The type of survey you need
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Preparing for the visit
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Find any old asbestos reports

Helpful guides
After the job
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
Common reasons for surveys in Kit's Coty
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Checks on rental property
- Schools, halls and community buildings
If you manage lettings around Aylesford station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether VAT is included
- Areas included and excluded
