- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

How asbestos survey works in Lympne
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Lympne, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Whether it’s community buildings and halls and workplaces built before 2000, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
Village houses like those in Lympne have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

After the job
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Options to consider in Lympne
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you’re comparing like with like. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Lympne questions
Do older homes in Lympne have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lympne may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Lympne from London?
Lympne is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Lympne?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Lympne, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
