Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Typical surveys in Maltman's Hill
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you let flats or houses near Pluckley station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What you will receive in writing
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
What happens next
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Keeping things safe:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
What to avoid
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
How it works
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Mention any damage before we arrive

What else we do in Maltman's Hill
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Maltman's Hill, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
Maltman's Hill questions
Do you work near Pluckley station?
Yes, we cover Maltman's Hill and the area towards Pluckley station, about 1.2 miles east.
Do you cover Maltman's Hill from London?
Maltman's Hill is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Maltman's Hill?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
