Asbestos survey for Nackington properties
If a building in Nackington dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may 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. Typical jobs include surveys requested by builders before work and purchases of older homes and buildings, involving garage roofs, water tanks and pipe lagging.
Village surveys around Nackington can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

How we price an asbestos survey
Prices vary with:
- Parking and access charges
- The size and age of the building
- How much sampling is needed
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
- Where we could park
- Visible markings
Not sure what you need? Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Options to consider in Nackington
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Recommendations in plain English
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
See how we quote and the cost guide.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs

Nackington: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Nackington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you survey a school or hall near Nackington?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Nackington buildings and asbestos surveys
Nackington is about 2 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. We work across Nackington and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. We work in all 922 towns and villages in Kent.
If you manage lettings around Canterbury East station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs. Schools such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts. Nackington is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
After the job
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Nackington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
How we work
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
