Asbestos survey for Maynard's Green
Maynard's Green questions
Do you cover small places like Maynard's Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
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.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
About our asbestos survey in Maynard's Green
Any building in Maynard's Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. People often contact us about demolition and strip-out and checks on rental property, involving water tanks, flues and pipe lagging.
In a village like Maynard's Green, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Step by step
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
How to prepare
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Clear the way to the work area

What it might be made of
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

After the job
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before booking builders
What to avoid
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- How many different materials need sampling
- The type of material and its condition
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The size of the job
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Weighing up your options
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why people choose us
- Recommendations in plain English
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Condition assessed for every material
- Reports and results you can share

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Maynard's Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
