Asbestos survey in Milton Regis
Asbestos survey for Milton Regis properties
If a building in Milton Regis dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. We often deal with pipe lagging, garage roofs and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are public and community buildings and planned refurbishment work.
In a village like Milton Regis, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.

For businesses and landlords in Milton Regis
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you manage or own a block in Milton Regis, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Where asbestos turns up
The danger typically comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Workplaces built before 2000
If you let flats or houses near Sittingbourne station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
