DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.
Asbestos survey for Leigh Green properties
Plenty of older buildings, in Leigh Green as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in, so you can plan sensibly. Whether it’s purchases of older homes and buildings and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, we cover floor tiles, water tanks and flues and more.
In a village like Leigh Green, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What else we do in Leigh Green
Duty holders and landlords in Leigh Green
If your business premises in Leigh Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Typical surveys in Leigh Green
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
These are some of the things we deal with in Leigh Green:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Community buildings and halls
- Pre-work surveys for trades

Before you book anyone
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
After we have finished in Leigh Green
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Surveying buildings in Leigh Green
Leigh Green is about 8 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. If your survey is in Leigh Green, let us know about access when you get in touch. We work in 922 places across Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 22 miles away.

Anywhere in TN30, we can help with an asbestos survey, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Close by, we cover Reading Street (2 miles south-east), Brook Street (2 miles east), Stone Corner (3 miles south), Woodchurch (3 miles east) and Brattle (3 miles east). Further out, we also cover Ashford (8 miles north-east), Park Wood (14 miles north-west), Kennington (10 miles north-east), New Romney (11 miles south-east), Staplehurst (10 miles north-west) and Stanhope (8 miles north-east).
A little further out are Benenden Hospital (4.5 miles west) and Tenterden and District Museum (1.3 miles west).

Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically well bound in.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.

Leigh Green questions
Do you cover small places like Leigh Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes. Appledore (Kent) station is about 5 miles south-east of Leigh Green, and we cover both.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.

We do: Leigh Green is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- Areas we cannot 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 report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
