Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Asbestos survey in Lynsore Bottom
Buying an older property in Lynsore Bottom? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Whether it’s workplaces built before 2000 and common parts of flats and HMOs, we deal with water tanks, soffits and pipe lagging and more.
Village houses like those in Lynsore Bottom have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Duty holders and landlords in Lynsore Bottom
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Lynsore Bottom, 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.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Kent can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Public and community buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
If you have an older property in Lynsore Bottom, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
