Asbestos survey in Langton Green
Asbestos survey for Langton Green properties
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Langton Green. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical materials include floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs, and people generally contact us about schools, halls and community buildings and buying a property built before 2000.
In places like Langton Green, surveys typically cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Parking close by makes the day easier.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Clear the way to the work area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Helpful guides
Which option is right?
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Clear next steps
- Across London and the South East
- Condition assessed for every material
See our prices page or the cost guide.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.

Common questions in Langton Green
Do you cover Langton Green from London?
Langton Green is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Langton Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not usually sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats generally do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Why people call us in Langton Green
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That is why so many buildings in Kent can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
In older properties, we often see:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Rented homes between tenancies
Altering an older house in Langton Green, wherever it is? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether VAT is included
After we have finished in Langton Green
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Keeping things safe:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Langton Green, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
