Asbestos survey for Maypole properties
What you are planning in Maypole decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We will recommend the right one. Whether it’s demolition projects and common parts of flats and HMOs, we deal with textured ceilings, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks and more.
In a village like Maypole, 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. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Maypole, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
What we deal with in Maypole
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Checks on rental property
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you have an older property in Maypole, near Church of the Holy Cross or anywhere else, survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.
What your quote should include
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

Questions from Maypole
Do you come out to small villages like Maypole?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Maypole?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Maypole?
Yes. We cover Maypole and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
What affects the price in Maypole
What changes the cost:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Travel and parking
- The building’s size and layout
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
