How asbestos survey works in Mundy Bois
Any building in Mundy Bois built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. From community buildings and halls and purchases of older homes and buildings, we cover garage roofs, flues and water tanks and more.
Village surveys around Mundy Bois can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Questions from Mundy Bois
How far is Mundy Bois from London?
Mundy Bois is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Is a survey needed before building work in Mundy Bois?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.

The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why us?
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Clear advice on your options
- The right survey for your plans

- An idea of size
Each job is priced individually. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 to get started.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.

Common reasons for surveys in Mundy Bois
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
These are some of the things we deal with in Mundy Bois:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Public and community buildings
- Demolition projects
Non-domestic buildings, Egerton Church of England Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.
