DIY and asbestos

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How asbestos survey works in Marsh Green
About to refurbish in Marsh Green? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Typical jobs include purchases of older homes and buildings and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, involving soffits, water tanks and flues.
Rural homes near Marsh Green have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Staying safe afterwards:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas

If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.

Common questions in Marsh Green
Could my house in Marsh Green contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Edenbridge Town station?
Yes. Edenbridge Town station is about 1.6 miles north of Marsh Green, and we cover both.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by 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. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.

A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
