Asbestos survey for Molash
Asbestos survey near Molash
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Molash. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Common materials are pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks, and typical jobs are refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and demolition and strip-out.
Around a village like Molash, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Common materials
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Molash, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
After the job
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Why people call us in Molash

Common situations in older properties include:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition and strip-out
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Public and community buildings
If you manage lettings around Wye station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

FAQs for Molash
Could my house in Molash contain asbestos?
Any home in Molash built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Wye station?
Yes. Wye station is about 3.2 miles south of Molash, and we cover both.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you cover Molash?
Yes, we do: Molash is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
