How asbestos survey works in Marlpit Hill
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Marlpit Hill. From the communal parts of blocks of flats and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we cover pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and soffits and more.
Rural homes near Marlpit Hill have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Marlpit Hill questions
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Edenbridge station?
Yes. Edenbridge station is close to the centre of Marlpit Hill, and we cover the whole area.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Public and community buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition projects
If you’re a landlord near Edenbridge station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
What your quote should include
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- VAT, clearly stated
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

After we’ve finished in Marlpit Hill
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Options to consider in Marlpit Hill
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.

Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
