Asbestos help in Mud Row
Common reasons for surveys in Mud Row
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
These are some of the things we deal with in Mud Row:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition projects
For a school like Eastchurch Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before you book
- Areas included and excluded
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Asbestos survey near Mud Row

What else we do in Mud Row
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Mud Row questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Mud Row?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you come out to small villages like Mud Row?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Step by step
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Mud Row must 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.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Options to consider in Mud Row
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Clear advice on your options
